Question

How will temperature affect the spontaneity of a reaction with positive ΔH and ΔS ?

Solution

At constant temperature and constant pressure, the change Gibbs free energy is defined as:
ΔG=ΔHtΔS

If the change in Gibbs free energy is negative, then the reaction will be spontaneous.

When ΔH is positive tΔS has to be bigger than ΔH so that the resulting sum would be negative.
