Question:

An H-shaped tank contains gas A in one arm and gas B in the other arm. When a valve separating the two arms is opened, the gases will spontaneously mix if given enough time. The reverse process—the gases spontaneously separating into all A in one arm and all B in the other—will never happen, no matter how long you wait. Why? (Assume ΔEtotal for the mixing is zero.)
