Reactions are described by this equation: GD = HD - TDS where D = delta for change in values. GD < 0 spontaneous HD < 0 exothermic ; HD > 0 endothermic The first equation is Gibbs free energy. When G is negative, the reaction is spontaneous. In contrast, a positive number G is non spontaneous. The interesting thing is that spontaneous reactions can be EITHER exothermic and endothermic. Lets look at this: lets assume HD has a value of 100. This means TDS would have to be bigger than 100 in order to make GD a negative number. An endothermic reaction which has a positive H can still be exothermic. Here's another way to pose your question: Is an exothermic reaction spontaneous? Always. Is an endothermic reaction spontaneous? This can be either.
The reaction is spontaneous below 743 K.
For some non-spontaneous reactions, you can change the temperature. For other non-spontaneous reactions, there is nothing you can do to make it spontaneous. Nature favors reactions that increase a system's entropy (disorder) and nature favors reactions that are exothermic (they release enthalpy). Any reaction that does both of these things is spontaneous at all temperatures. Any reaction that does neither of these things is never spontaneous. As far as this question is concerned, the interesting reactions are endothermic reactions that increase entropy and exothermic reactions that decrease entropy. Whether these reactions are spontaneous depends on the temperature. The first variety (endothermic, increase entropy) will be spontaneous at high temperatures; the second (exothermic, decrease entropy) will be spontaneous at low temperatures. To find the temperature at which a reaction becomes spontaneous, one may apply the Gibbs equation: DG = DH - TDS where capital Ds stand for the Greek capital delta.
The reaction is spontaneous below 554.8/0.1975 K.
The reaction is spontaneous above 371 K.

Yes, it is correct.
The change in Gibbs Free Energy (∆Gº) predicts if a reaction is spontaneous or not. The equation for this is ∆G = ∆H - T∆S where ∆H is the change in enthalpy, T is temperature in Kelvin, and ∆S in change in entropy.
