Once a spontaneous process or reaction begins, it will continue to proceed on its own. This will result in a lower energy state and the process occurs naturally.A. An example of a spontaneous process is an ice cube melting. The ice cube is removed from the freezer and absorbs energy from the surroundings. The process then continues on its own.B. A nonspontaneous process or reaction requires a continual input of energy for the process to occur. This results in a higher energy state, and therefore, the process does not occur naturally without a constant input of energy.C. An example of a nonspontaneous process is a plant growing. In order for a plant to grow, a continual input of energy is required as light from the sun. Without sunlight, a plant would die, as the reaction cannot continue to proceed on its own.D. Identify the reaction type in the example of logs burning in a campfire.
