ANSWER:
So the two conditions for a reaction to be spontaneous are:
1.tendency to achieve minimum energy
2.tendency to achieve maximum randomness.
EXPLANATION:
Both these things are contrasting and the only way I see them working are when they work independent of each other. Do these work simultaneously?
I am really having a hard time in figuring out a reaction where energy decreases and entropy increases. Can this happen?
