Thank you

Answer 1

This is a not a spontaneous reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, it would not be one because if you add the reactants the products would have to be the same (same types of atoms. number of atoms, and the arrangement of the atoms). In this case the reactants and the products are not equal.
