I've had a shaky grasp on thermodynamics ever since taking P-Chem and University Physics at the same time, because the stupid conventions are different. Apparently chemists are interested in how much work you have to put in to the system to make the reaction go, and physicists (at least the ones who wrote the text we used) are interested in how much work you can get out of the system when the reaction does go, so they invert the signs. Try holding two different and incompatible versions of the same equations in your head at the same time, and you'll begin to understand my confusion.
If I'm remembering properly, in chemical terms a negativeenthalpy change indicates that the reaction is thermodynamically favored (i.e. exothermic).

What do Proton-Transfer reactions favor?
Proton-Transfer: reactions favor the production of the weaker acid and weaker base.
True or False A large positive value of entropy tends to favor products of a chemical reaction?
True, a large positive value of entropy tends to favor products of a chemical reaction. However, entropy can be offset by enthalpy; a large positive value of enthalpy tends to favor the reactants of a chemical reaction. The true measure to determine which side of a chemical reaction is favored is the change in Gibbs' free energy, which accounts for both entropy and enthalpy, as calculated by: Change in Gibbs = Change in Enthalpy - Temp in Kelvin * Change in Entropy A negative value of Gibbs free energy will always favour the products of a chemical reaction.
What 4 things can increase the rate of a chemical reaction?
Concentrations of reactants; concentrations of products; changes in temperature (usually higher temperatures favor faster reactions); catalyst; for some reactions, incident light; and, for reactions with a volume change, changes in pressure.
How does selection favor calling How does selection favor not calling?
Not
How are favor and planet different?
favor has a long a and planet has a short a sound.
What do Proton-Transfer reactions favor?
Proton-Transfer: reactions favor the production of the weaker acid and weaker base.
How is temperature affect the spontaneity of a reaction with positive H and S?
∆G = ∆H - T∆S and ∆G has to be negative for the reaction to be spontaneous. So, ultimately the effect of temperature will depend on the value of ∆H. If ∆H is negative, and ∆S is positive, then temperature won't matter, and reaction will be spontaneous. If ∆H is positive, and ∆S is positive, then a high temperature will favor spontaneity. If ∆H is negative and ∆S is negative, then a low temperature will favor spontaneity. So, the answer to your question is the higher the temperature the more likely the reaction will occur spontaneously.
What is the relationship between public opinion and policy-making?
Public opinion is views represented by the general public and policy making is adopted by the government. SO - public opinion can impact policy making in a positive or negative way, whether it is in your favor or not in your favor.
What is a negative statistic?
a statistic that is not in youre favor
Are you in favor of dating negative answer?
I am not sure about dating negative answers because I have not yet met a negative answer whom I could date.

Why are most molecular compound poor conductors?
Molecular compounds are poor conductors because they have no charge. Molecular compounds are simply just covalent bonds. Since covalent compounds dont give or take, they SHARE valence electrons they have no charge. Electricity is only created by positive and negative electrons, but since a molecular compound has no charge they are poor conductors. ONLY MOST ARE POOR CONDUCTORS. Why? Sometimes there is an unbalance and some molecules like Water tend be favor positive or negative, water for instance is just slightly negative.
What are some positive and negative impacts of construction?
Hmm, well construction is positive in that it can provide structures that help the world... housing, factories, animal shelters, cruise ships, etc. On the other hand, it can be negative as far as environmental impact or changing land use... taking away the habitat of a rare bird or animal for instance, or displacing a population or a site important to history in favor of "progress." There are good and bad things about all decisions, and the individual cases have to be looked at.
What positive and negative traits does Odysseus demonstrate in his adventure with the cyclops?
Positive traits:Odysseus demonstrates traits of the epic hero, saving the remaining warriors from the Cyclops. He shows bravery and intelligence, close favor with the gods, and an adventurous spirit.Negative Traits:He is boastful and gloats too much. He mocks Polyphemus and causes Poseidon to become an enemy. This is what creates his major downfall.
