Delta G spontaneity

[deniise_garciia]

How can you tell if delta G is spontaneous or non spontaneous when it is Temperature dependent?

[Cynthia Aragon 1B]

When Delta G is given and you see the standard symbol it means standard temperature which is 298K. Also 1M and 1Atm is standard. Delta G is spontaneous when Delta H is positive and and Delta S is positive. Also, Delta G is spontaneous when both Delta H and Delta s are negative.

Delta G is non-spontaneous when both Delta H and Delta S are positive. Moreover, it can be that both Delta H and Delta S are negative.

Positive meaning favorable which increases entropy and negative meaning unfavorable which decreases entropy.

As a side note, you can further solve for when it becomes spontaneous by setting the equation equal to zero and solving for T.

Here's a picture that may help.

When you plug in the temperature and other variables, as long as delta G is negative, then the reaction is spontaneous.

[Celio_G_Dis2C]

When delta H and delta S have differing signs then the reaction is temperature dependent

[Celio_G_Dis2C]

"Delta G is non-spontaneous when both Delta H and Delta S are positive. Moreover, it can be that both Delta H and Delta S are negative. " is not correct. It MAY become nonspontaneous

[Nghi Nguyen 2L]

you really just have to look at delta G in relation to the other variables such as delta H, delta S, and T
knowing their signs will help you determine whether or not delta G is positive or negative, thus giving you spontaneity
