**Classifying Reaction Spontaneity Based on ΔH and ΔS**

This educational material presents the classification of possible combinations of thermodynamic values \(\Delta H\) (enthalpy change) and \(\Delta S\) (entropy change) for a chemical reaction based on the resulting spontaneity at various temperature conditions. The categories are divided into four sections:

1. **Spontaneous as written at all temperatures**

   - \(\Delta H\) = - (negative)
   - \(\Delta S\) = + (positive)

2. **Spontaneous in reverse at all temperatures**

3. **Spontaneous as written above a certain temperature**

4. **Spontaneous as written below a certain temperature**

At the bottom of the image, there is an "Answer Bank" containing different combinations of \(\Delta H\) and \(\Delta S\):

- \(\Delta H\) = +, \(\Delta S\) = + 
- \(\Delta H\) = -, \(\Delta S\) = -
- \(\Delta H\) = +, \(\Delta S\) = -
- \(\Delta H\) = -, \(\Delta S\) = +

Currently, the combination \(\Delta H\) = -, \(\Delta S\) = - has been classified under "Spontaneous as written at all temperatures." The remaining combinations need to be placed in their respective categories based on spontaneity criteria.
