Once a spontaneous process or reaction begins, it will continue to proceed on its own. This will result in a lower energy state and the process occurs naturally. A. An example of a spontaneous process is an ice cube melting. The ice cube is removed from the freezer and absorbs energy from the surroundings. The process then continues on its own. B. A nonspontaneous process or reaction requires a continual input of energy for the process to occur. This results in a higher energy state, and therefore, the process does not occur naturally without a constant input of energy. C. An example of a nonspontaneous process is a plant growing. In order for a plant to grow, a continual input of energy is required as light from the sun. Without sunlight, a plant would die, as the reaction cannot continue to proceed on its own. D. Identify the reaction type in the example of logs burning in a campfire.

logs burning in a campfire is a nonspontaneous process

Explanation:

logs burning in a campfire is a nonspontaneous process, because it need oxygen in order to continue with the fire, if we cover the logs and eliminate the oxygen in the surrondings the fire will be extinguished, here the oxygen acts as sunlight for the plants
