Gibbs-Helmoholtz equation relates the free energy change to the enthalpy and entropy changes of the process as (DeltaG)_(PT) = DeltaH - T DeltaS The magnitude of DeltaH does not change much with the change in temperature but the enrgy factor T DeltaS changes appreciably. Thus, spontaneity of a process depends very much on temperature. The enthalpy change for a certain reaction at 300K is -15.0 kcal mol^(-1) . The entropy change under these conditions is -7.2 cal K^(-) mol^(-1) . The free enegry change for the reaction and its spontaneous//nonspontaneous character will be

The oxidation of iron occurs as: 4Fe(s) + 3 O_(2)(g) to 2Fe_(2)O_(3)(s) The enthalpy of formation of Fe_(2)O_(3) is - 824.2 kJ mol^(-1) and entropy change for the reaction is -549 J K^(-1) mol^(-1) at 298 K. Inspite of negative entropy change of this reaction, why is the reaction spontaneous at 298 K?
