Question
Any process will be spontaneous at constant pressure and temperature when
Answer: B,C
π‘ Solution & Explanation
By the second law, a process is spontaneous if Ξ S_univ = Ξ S_sys + Ξ S_surr > 0 (B correct). At constant T and P, the criterion for spontaneity is Ξ G_sys < 0 (C correct). Ξ S_sys alone need not be positive for a spontaneous process (D is nonsensical as G_univ is not a useful criterion).
