Answer to Problem 48LC

The two factors which determine the spontaneity of the chemical reaction are enthalpy and entropy.

Explanation of Solution

A reaction is spontaneous when the entropy is offset by a large release of heat. Also, a reaction is spontaneous if an increase in enthalpy is offset by an increase in entropy.

Therefore, entropy and enthalpy are the two factors that determine the spontaneity of a reaction.
