**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Spontaneous and Non-Spontaneous Processes:** - A spontaneous process is one that occurs naturally without any external influence. It happens on its own and is characterized by a negative change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG < 0). - A non-spontaneous process, on the other hand, does not occur naturally and requires an external influence or energy input to take place. This is characterized by a positive change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG > 0). 2. **Examples of Processes:** - An example of a spontaneous process is the burning of fuels, which occurs automatically. ...

Assertion (A): The thermodynamic factor which determines the spontaneity of a process is the free energy. For a process to be spontaneous the free energy must be-ve. Reason (R ) : The change in free energy is related to the change in a process must always be positive if its is spontaneous.

Statement: The thermodynamics functions which determines the spontaneity of a process is the free energy. For a process to be spontaneous, the change in free energy must be negative. Explanation:The change in free energy is related to the change in enthalpy and change in entropy. the change in entropy for a process must be always positive if it is spontaneous.

A: A non- spontaneous process becomes spontaneous when coupled with a suitable spontaneous reaction. R: The overall free energy of coupled spontaneous reaction is negative.
