Micah Andersen · Answer 1

Reaction a will be spontaneous at low temperature

Reaction b will be spontaneous at high temperature

Reaction c will be spontaneous at high temperature

Reaction d will be spontaneous at high temperature

Explanation:

Reaction a is an exothermic with a negative entropy and will act spontaneously at low temperature.

Reaction b, c, and d are endothermic reactions and have positive entropy, they will react spontaneously at high temperatures.
