Spontaneous Processes

Mr. Anderson explains spontaneous and nonspontaneous processes in chemistry, focusing on enthalpy and entropy changes. He uses examples and simulations to illustrate how equilibrium constants can determine reaction favorability. The video concludes with a brief introduction to Gibbs free energy.

What distinguishes a nonspontaneous process from a spontaneous one?

In what scenarios might a spontaneous process take a long time to occur?

How does the concept of thermodynamic favorability relate to spontaneous processes?
