negative delta U value
Why do we not know if a reaction will occur just because the delta U value is negative?
Re: negative delta U value
I believe that if the delta U value is negative, it just means that the temperature was decreased which caused the gas molecules to slow down.

Re: negative delta U value
We must also know thee entropy of the system. Entropy describes the different microscopic configurations of the system, so it's a necessary property to know when calculating whether the system is in a particular state.
