The reaction CO 2 ( g ) + H 2 ( g ) → CO ( g ) + H 2 O ( g ) is not spontaneous at room temperature but becomes spontaneous at a much higher temperature. What can you conclude from this about the signs of Δ H ° and Δ S ° , assuming that the enthalpy and entropy changes are not greatly affected by the temperature change? Explain your reasoning.
