Chapter 18, Problem 47E

Interpretation Introduction

Introduction: The spontaneity of the reaction depends on the signs of enthalpy$\left(\text{Δ}H\right)$, entropy$\left(\text{Δ}S\right)$and change in free energy$\left(\text{Δ}G\right)$of the reaction. When $\text{Δ}H$and $\text{Δ}S$have opposite signs, the spontaneity of the reaction does not depend on temperature. But when $\text{Δ}H$and $\text{Δ}S$have same signs, the spontaneity of the reaction depends on temperature.
