This project was preformed to supply Libretext Authors with videos on General Chemistry topics which can be used to enhance their projects. Also, these videos are meant to act as a learning resource for all General Chemistry students.
Video Topics
Spontaneous process: A process that once started no eternal action is needed to make the process continue.
Non-spontaneous process: A process, which will not occur unless an external action is continuously applied.
If a process is spontaneous, the reverse process is non-spontaneous. Reactions can be spontaneous or non-spontaneous. It was originally though that a process which gives off energy (exothermic) was spontaneous. Because there are spontaneous endothermic reactions spontaneity must not entirely determined by enthalpy H.
