Match the Variation of Reaction Spontaneity (Sign of ΔG) given in Column I with the Signs of ΔH and ΔS given in column II.

COLUMN I

COLUMN II

ΔH

ΔS

ΔG = ΔH – TΔS

1.

−

+

a. The reaction is both enthalpically and entropically opposed. It is nonspontaneous (endergonic) at all temperatures.

2.

−

−

b. The reaction is enthalpically opposed (endothermic) but entropically favored. It is spontaneous only at temperatures above T = ΔH/ΔS.

3.

+

+

c. The reaction is enthalpically favored but entropically opposed. It is spontaneous only at temperatures below T = ΔH/ΔS.

4.

+

−

d. The reaction is both enthalpically favored (exothermic) and entropically favored. It is spontaneous (exergonic) at all temperatures.
