Question

Which of the following statements about spontaneity are true?
A decrease in the entropy of the reaction ensures that only reactants will be formed during the course of a reaction.
The enthalpy change in a reaction can be used to predict if a reaction will be spontaneous or not.
A reaction with a positive value for Gnonstand will result in some amount of products being present at the end of the reaction (equilibrium).
A reaction with an increase in enthalpy and entropy will be spontaneous at all temperatures.
A reaction with a negative value for Gnonstand will result in only products being present at the end of the reaction (equilibrium).
