Question

4 multiple choice 2 points maximize disorder and minimize enthalpy. spontaneous reactions activation reaction endothermic reaction exothermic reaction previous

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Spontaneous reactions tend to increase entropy (disorder) and decrease enthalpy to reach a more stable state. Activation reactions refer to the energy - barrier process, endothermic reactions absorb heat (increase enthalpy in a sense), and exothermic reactions release heat, but the key here is the combination of maximizing disorder and minimizing enthalpy which is characteristic of spontaneous reactions.

Answer:

A. spontaneous reactions
