Explanation / Answer

We know delta G = delta H - T x delta S

the condition for spontaneity is delta G is negative.

A) The reaction is always spontaneous, means delta G is always negative which implies that deltaH is negative and delta S is positive.

Thus for thisreaction delta H is negative , exothermic , but proceeds slow at very low temperatures means , the initiation is less at very low temperatures.

B)The reaction is spontaneous except below 68C.

That is at low temperatures it is non-spontaneous and at high temperature spontaneous,

Thus the reaction is endothermic, delta H is positivie and delta S is also positive.

At high temperatures delta H - T delta S is negative

C) Crystallization is psontaneous only below 52C.

That is delta H is negative and delta S is also negative ( physical state changing from liquid to solid)

Thus the delta G is negative only when the temperature is less.
