### Entropy and Free Energy: Calculating ΔG from ΔH and ΔS

A chemical engineer is studying the two reactions shown in the table below.

In each case, he fills a reaction vessel with some mixture of the reactants and products at a constant temperature of 143.0 °C and constant total pressure. Then, he measures the reaction enthalpy ΔH and reaction entropy ΔS of the first reaction, and the reaction enthalpy ΔH and reaction free energy ΔG of the second reaction. The results of his measurements are shown in the table.

Complete the table. That is, calculate ΔG for the first reaction and ΔS for the second. (Round your answer to zero decimal places.) Then, decide whether, under the conditions the engineer has set up, the reaction is spontaneous, the reverse reaction is spontaneous, or neither forward nor reverse reaction is spontaneous because the system is at equilibrium.

#### Results Table:

| Reaction | ΔH (kJ) | ΔS (J/K) | ΔG (kJ) | Which is spontaneous? |
|----------|---------|----------|---------|-----------------------|
| P₄(s) + 6Cl₂(g) → 4PCl₃(g) | -1207  | -2911  | **[Calculate]** | [This reaction / Reverse reaction / Neither] |
| 6C(s) + 6H₂(g) + 3O₂(g) → C₆H₁₂O₆(s) | -1237  | **[Calculate]**  | 0  | [This reaction / Reverse reaction / Neither] |

#### Instructions for Completing the Table:

1. **Calculate ΔG for the First Reaction:**
   Use the formula ΔG = ΔH - TΔS, where T is the temperature in Kelvin. Convert the given temperature to Kelvin by adding 273.15 to the Celsius temperature.

2. **Calculate ΔS for the Second Reaction:**
   Use the provided relationship and data given in the table.

3. **Determine Spontaneity:**
   After calculating ΔG, determine if the reaction is spontaneous by evaluating the sign of ΔG:
   - If ΔG < 0, the reaction is spontaneous.
   - If ΔG > 0, the reverse reaction is spontaneous.
   - If ΔG = 0, neither forward nor reverse reaction is spontaneous (the
