Can someone please tell me if the following statement is true or false and provide an explanation if true?

For any given NONspontaneous reaction or process, the reverse reaction or process will be SPONTANEOUS.

Thanks!

False. Think about the activation energy.

Isnt that true? Because delta G switches from positive to negative? I think Chad said something along that line in one of his videos. I could be wrong though.

It's true

it should be true.....to say the reaction is nonspontaneous in one direction is another way of saying it's spontaneous in reverse direction.

False. Think about the activation energy.

High activation energy will make it slow, not non-spontaneous.
