What do you about the spontaneity of the following reactions? Remember that ΔG =  ΔH − TΔS. The first one is solved as an example a. If Δh for a reaction is negative and Δs is positive? if ΔH < 0 and ΔS > 0 then ΔG < 0  and the reaction is spontaneous. b. What if Δh is negative and Δs is negative? c. What if Δh is positive and Δs is negative?  d. What if Δh is positive and Δs is positive?
