When gaseous iodine, I2(g), spontaneously condenses to liquid iodine, I2(l), the process releases heat, i.e., it is exothermic. What can be deduced about the sign of ΔS for this phase change? ΔS > 0 ΔS = 0 ΔS < 0

Step 1
Step 1: Identify the process — gaseous iodine condenses to liquid iodine: I2(g) → I2(l); the process is exothermic and occurs spontaneously under the given conditions. Show more…

What are the signs $(+,-, \text { or } 0)$ of $\Delta H, \Delta S,$ and $\Delta G$ for the spontaneous sublimation of a crystalline solid? Explain.
Shown below is a diagram depicting the enthalpy change of a chemical reaction run at constant pressure. Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic? What is the sign of $\Delta H$ ? What is the sign of $q$ ? If the reaction does no work, what is the sign of $\Delta E$ for this process?
Find the sign of $\Delta S^{\circ}$ for the reaction $$ 2 \mathrm{~N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{5}(s) \longrightarrow 4 \mathrm{NO}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) $$ The reaction is endothermic and spontaneous at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Explain the spontaneity of the reaction in terms of enthalpy and entropy changes.
