No, not all irreversible reactions are spontaneous - for example, cooking an egg. Once it's cooked, there's no going back to the raw egg stage. But it takes a lot of heat to get to that stage, so it is not spontaneous. If you find an old egg laid by a hen, it will not have a hardboiled texture!

Why are all spontaneous processes irreversible?

Spontaneous processes are irreversible because they involve an increase in entropy, or disorder, in the system. This increase in entropy leads to a loss of energy that cannot be fully recovered, making the process irreversible.


Is there a science to cooking?

Yes, all cooking is irreversible reactions.


Is all physical reactions are reversible?

No, not all physical reactions are reversible. Some physical reactions are irreversible, meaning they cannot easily be undone or reversed to their original state. Examples of irreversible physical reactions include burning a match or breaking a glass.

Is it true that all chemical reactions are reversible?

No, not all chemical reactions are reversible. Some reactions are irreversible, meaning they cannot easily be reversed to reform the original reactants.


Why endothermic reactions cannot be spontaneous reactions?

Endothermic reactions require an input of energy to proceed, which means they do not occur spontaneously. Spontaneous reactions release energy to their surroundings, unlike endothermic reactions that absorb energy from the surroundings. Therefore, endothermic reactions cannot be spontaneous as they need an external energy source to drive the reaction forward.
