What will result is a process being spontaneous?

(More than one answer can be correct - each correct answer will result in full credit)

Choose one answer.

a. Both the change in entropy of the system and the change in entropy of the surroundings are greater than zero. b. Both the change in entropy of the system and the change in entropy of the surroundings are less than zero. c. The change in entropy of the system is greater than zero while the change in entropy of the surroundings is less than zero and the change in entropy of the system is greater in magnitude than the change in entropy of the surroundings. d. The change in entropy of the system is greater than zero while the change in entropy of the surroundings is less than zero and the change in entropy of the system is lower in magnitude than the change in entropy of the surroundings.

Explanation / Answer

deltaS(universe) = deltaS(system)+deltaS(surroundings) > 0

then the above condition is spontaneous

a. Both the change in entropy of the system and the change in entropy of the surroundings are greater than zero

d.The change in entropy of the system is greater than zero while the change in entropy of the surroundings is less than zero and the change in entropy of the system is lower in magnitude than the change in entropy of the surroundings

these are correct answers
