    How is a nonspontaneous process made spontaneous? Check all that apply: A nonspontaneous process is coupled with a process that is highly spontaneous. Nonspontaneous reactions can be made spontaneous depending on the reaction conditions; i.e., ΔG° might be positive, but ΔG could be negative depending on the concentrations of the reactants and products. A nonspontaneous process is coupled with a process that is highly disordered. Nonspontaneous reactions can be made spontaneous depending on the reaction conditions; i.e., ΔG° might be...
