$A$ calorimeter contains $0.2 \ kg$ of water at $30^{\circ} C$. $0.1 \ kg$ of water at $60^{\circ} C$ is added to it,the mixture is well stirred and the resulting temperature is found to be $35^{\circ} C$. The water equivalent of the calorimeter is $:-$ (in $J / K$)

Assertion : The increase in internal energy $(\Delta E)$ for the vaporization of one mole of water at $1 \ atm$ and $373 \ K$ is zero.
Reason : For all isothermal processes,$\Delta E = 0$.

At $300 \ K$,which of the following reactions with the given thermodynamic parameters occur spontaneously?
