How is a reaction described when the given conditions favor formation of products?
planned
instantaneous
fluctuations
spontaneous
Chemists want to be able to predict the outcome of reactions. They would like it to be possible to predict what will happen when reactants are added together under a given set of conditions. The conditions of a reaction might include things like temperature, pressure, and concentrations of various reaction components. If the given conditions favor the formation of products, the reaction is said to be spontaneous .
