If an endothermic reaction is non-spontaneous at freezing point of water and becomes feasible at its boiling point, then

Free enegry , G = H - TS , is state function that indicates whther a reaction is spontaneous or non-spontaneous. If you think of TS as the part of the system's enegry that is disordered already, then (H -TS) is the part of the system's energy that is still ordered and therefore free to cause spontaneous change by becoming disordered. Also, DeltaG = DeltaH - T DeltaS From the second law of thermodynamics, a reaction is spontaneous if Delta_("total")S is positive, non-spontaneous if Delta_("total")S is negative, and at equilibrium if Delta_('total")S is zero. Since, -T DeltaS = DeltaG and since DeltaG and DeltaS have opposite sings, we can restate the thermodynamic criterion for the spontaneity of a reaction carried out a constant temperature and pressure. IF DeltaG lt 0 , the reaction is spontaneous. If DeltaG gt 0 , the reaction is non-spontaneous. If DeltaG = 0 , the reaction is at equilibrium. Read the above paragraph carefully and answer the following questions based on the above comprehension.

Free energy, G=H-TS, is a state function that includes whether a reaction is spontaneous or non-spontaneous. If you think of TS as the part of the system's energy that is disordered already, then (H-TS) is the part of the system's energy that is still ordered and therefore free to cause spontaneous change by becoming disordered. Also, DeltaG=DeltaH-TDeltaS To see what this equation for free energy change has to do with spontaneity let us return to relationship. DeltaS_("total")=DeltaS_("sys")+DeltaS_("surr") = DeltaS + DeltaS_("surr") (It is generally understood that symbols without subscript refer to the system not the surroundings.) DeltaS_("surr")=-(DeltaH)/T , where DeltaH is the heat gained by then system at constant pressure. DeltaS_("total") = DeltaS -(DeltaH)/T rArr TDeltaH_("total")=DeltaH-TDeltaS rArr -TDeltaS_("total") =DeltaH-TDeltaS i.e. DeltaG=-TDeltaS_("total") From second law of thermodynamics, a reaction is spontaneous if DeltaS_("total") is positive, non-spontanous if DeltaS_("total") is negative and at equilibrium if DeltaS_("total") is zero. Since, -TDeltaS=DeltaG and since DeltaG and DeltaS have opposite signs, we can restate the thermodynamic criterion for the spontaneity of a reaction carried out at constant temperature and pressure. If DeltaG lt 0 , the reaction is spontaneous. If DeltaG gt 0 , the reaction is non-spontanous. If DeltaG=0 , the reaction is at equilibrium. In the equation, DeltaG=DeltaH-TDeltaS , temperature is a weighting factor that determine the relative importance of enthalpy contribution to DeltaG .
