Spontaneous reaction
δg = (-992.0) - (298)(-294.6)(1/1000)
it depends on the entropy and enathalpy of the reaction
B
When the Gibbs free energy for a reaction is greater than zero, the reaction is "disfavored" - won't proceed in that direction - in fact it may try go in the reverse direction if possible. When the Gibbs free energy for a reaction is less than zero, the reaction is "favored" - it should proceed as written spontaneously. When the Gibbs free energy for a reaction is exactly zero - it is in equilibrium, with the forward and back ward reactions occurring at the same rate.
when H is negative and S is positive
Spontaneous reaction
Since the question seems to be about reactions - and the whole idea of a reaction is that something is changing... The CHANGE in Gibbs free energy will always be positive for a spontaneous reaction. As far as whether the Gibbs free energy of a system (without the term "change" attached) ... Since Gibbs free energy is a state function, it is always defined relative to a standard state. Asking if the Gibbs free energy is positive is akin to asking how "high" something is - the answer depends on where you define zero to be. If you define 0 height to be the level of the ground you are standing on, you will get a different answer than if you define zero height to be "sea level". A cactus in Death Valley may have a positive height relative to the ground, but would actually have a negative height relative to sea level. Likewise, the Gibbs free energy of a system will be positive or negative (or zero) depending on what you define as the standard state.

Yes, as long as the entropy of the universe increases.
If the sign of ΔH is _______ and the sign of ΔS is _______ , then the magnitude of TΔS must be ________ than the magnitude of ΔH for the reaction to be spontaneous. The Gibbs free energy equation is ΔG = ΔH - TΔS. negative; negative; less

One may go to the local library to research Gibbs Free Energy theory. One may also look towards Wikipedia, Ebooks, Boundless or Chemistry About to find information about the Gibbs Free Energy theory.
Chemical reactions that have high activation energy, with multiple intermediates and transitions states that have higher activation energy than the initial requirement, but which still have a negative Gibbs free energy change.
Gibbs free energy -- symbol G. If the change in Gibbs free energy for a reaction is negative, the reaction is spontaneous. If it is zero, you are at equilibrium. If it is positive, the reaction is NOT spontaneous.G ≡ H -TS (or in another useful form dG = dH -TdS)whereH is enthalpyT is absolute temperatureS is entropy
