After setting up the following spontaneous reaction in a beaker,
CaCO3(s) + 2 HCl(aq) ⟶ CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g),
you notice that the temperature of the solution increases. Which statement best describes the process:
Group of answer choices
Not enough information is provided.
ΔSsurr > 0
ΔSsurr < 0
ΔSsys < 0
ΔSuniv < 0
Answer is ∆Ssurr >0
Here, ∆n >0
And the process is exothermic.
So, ∆Ssys > 0
And ∆Ssurr > 0
And ∆Suniv = ( ∆Ssys + ∆Ssurr ) > 0
