Examine the following processes.i. Glucose breaks down in our bodies to provide energy.ii. A lump of sugar dissolves in a cup of coffee.iii. A candle burns.iv. Ice cream melts on a hot day.v. Food is refrigerated in a refrigerator.vi. A drop of food coloring spreads in a glass of water.Which arrangement correctly categorizes the above processes into either spontaneous or nonspontaneous processes?

A process is spontaneous if it can proceed naturally under the stated conditions, though it may need an initial trigger. Glucose breakdown, sugar dissolving, candle combustion after lighting, ice cream melting on a hot day, and food coloring spreading through water are spontaneous. Refrigerating food requires energy to transfer heat out, so it is nonspontaneous; choice C gives this classification.
