Which of the following statements define the second law of thermodynamics? All spontaneous processes involve an increase in the entropy of the universe. Processes that require continual input of energy from an external source. Processes that take place without continuous input of energy from an external source. Entropy of a perfect crystal at absolute zero, or 0 K, is zero.

Which of the following is a statement of the 2nd law of thermodynamics: All spontaneous reactions cause an decrease in the entropy of the system. A completely ordered, pure crystalline solid at zero K has an entropy of zero. All spontaneous changes cause an increase in the entropy of the universe. Energy can be transformed from one form to another, but cannot be created nor destroyed. The change in Free Energy (ΔG) of a spontaneous reaction must be positive.
