Predicting Gibbs Free Energy Sign
Are you able to predict the sign of the Gibbs free energy for a reaction given only the temperature, and if so, how would you do this?
Re: Predicting Gibbs Free Energy Sign
No, because it is also dependent on the enthalpy of the reaction.

Gibbs Free Energy is dependent on temperature, entropy, and enthalpy. A high temperature can still be multiplied by a positive or negative value of change in entropy, so just knowing the temperature does not give the sign of the Gibbs Free Energy value.

Re: Predicting Gibbs Free Energy Sign
you can't predict it based on just temperature. you would need enthalpy or entropy or both
