If a process has a negative entropy change for a system but is still a spontaneous process, which of the following statements apply. AG=AH-TAS AG is negative for a spontaneous process. AG is positive for a spontaneous process. AG is positive because AH has a small negative value. AG is negative because AH has a large negative value. Since AS is negative, AG must be positive. Since AS is negative, AG must be negative.
