Negative entropy is a process or chemical reaction proceeds spontaneously in the forward direction.

Positive entropy is a process proceeds spontaneously in reverse.

How is dividing integers similar to multiplying integers with the resulting sign?

The rules for the sign (positive or negative) of the result of a multiplication is the same as division. For multiplication: Positive * Positive --> Positive Positive * Negative --> Negative Negative * Positive --> Negative Negative * Negative --> Positive For division: Positive / Positive --> Positive Positive / Negative --> Negative Negative / Positive --> Negative Negative / Negative --> Positive


Do non-metals become positive or negative as ions?

It is possible to make positive ions of nonmetals e.g. oxygen, chlorine, by putting enough energy into them. They normally form negative ions when in a spontaneous reaction.


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.


If a negative is divided by a positive is it negative?

Yes. Negative/negative = positive Postive/Positive = positive Negative/Positive - negative
