Expert Solution

For a reaction if Gibb's free energy change i.e., ∆G is   -ve (negative) that process is spontaneous if it positive then it is non-spontaneous

Reaction A - non-spontaneous

Reaction B - spontaneous

Reaction C - non-spontaneous

Reaction D - non-spontaneous

Reaction E - non-spontaneous

Reaction F - spontaneous

REACTION B AND F ARE SPONTANEOUS
