If the delta G (change in Gibbs Free Energy) of a reaction was -31.45 kJoules, you would know that the reaction is spontaneous, releasing energy. the products have more free energy than the reactants. the reaction most likely is coupled to another exergonic reaction. the reaction requires an energy input of 31.45 kJoules to produce a product.

Using the Gibbs Free Energy Formula, if a reaction is endothermic (positive delta H) and decreases in entropy (negative delta S) delta G will always be Choose an option: negative, and the reaction will be spontaneous positive, and the reaction will be spontaneous positive, and the reaction will not be spontaneous negative, and the reaction will not be spontaneous

Calculate the change in Gibbs free energy for each of the sets of $\Delta H_{\text { rxn }}, \Delta S_{\text { rxn }},$ and $T$ given in Problem $41 .$ Predict whether or not each reaction is spontaneous at the temperature indicated. (Assume that all reactants and products are in their standard states.)
Calculate the change in Gibbs free energy for each of the sets of $\Delta H_{\mathrm{rxn}}, \Delta S_{\mathrm{rxn}}$, and $T$ given in Problem $38 .$ Predict whether or not each reaction is spontaneous at the temperature indicated.
