When H and S are both positive
A high temperature could make a reaction spontaneous that was nonspontaneous at low temperature when the increase in entropy due to the reaction outweighs the increase in enthalpy. At higher temperatures, the TΔS term in the Gibbs free energy equation becomes more dominant, leading to a positive ΔG becoming negative, thus making the reaction spontaneous.
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.
Changing the temperature
deltaH=28 kJ/mol, deltaS=0.109 kJ(molK)
One method could be to set up multiple reaction vessels with the same concentration of cellulase and substrate, but at different temperatures. Measure the rate of reaction by monitoring a specific parameter (e.g., substrate concentration over time) for each reaction vessel. Plotting the data will allow you to observe how temperature affects the rate of reaction of the cellulase.

A reaction that is nonspontaneous at low temperatures can become spontaneous at high temperatures if the entropy change (ΔS) is positive and the enthalpy change (ΔH) is either positive or less negative. In the Gibbs free energy equation (G = H - TS), as temperature (T) increases, the term -TS becomes more negative, which can lower the Gibbs free energy (G). If the increase in entropy at high temperatures outweighs the enthalpic costs, G can turn negative, indicating spontaneity.
For a reaction, synonyms could include automatic, reflexive, or instinctive. For a spontaneous person : impulsive, impetuous, or extemporaneous.
A spontaneous reaction to a bankrupt, inept and unresponsive government that could not provide bread or hope.
A reaction is considered non-spontaneous when the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) is positive, indicating that the reaction requires an input of energy to occur. This could happen when the reactants have high energy relative to the products or when the reaction conditions do not favor the formation of products.
Use the following equation: delta G = delta H - T*deltaS. A reaction is spontaneous if delta G is negative. A reaction will always be spontaneous (under any temperature) only if the change in enthalpy (delta H) is negative and the change in entropy (delta S) is positive. If this is not the case, the reaction will only be spontaneous (negative delta G) for a range of temperatures (or could be always non-spontaneous)

Changing the temperature
Yes.
To produce a spontaneous reaction in an electrochemical cell, the half-reaction at the anode must involve the oxidation of a species. If the cathode half-reaction is a reduction, such as the reduction of a metal ion to its elemental form, the corresponding anode half-reaction could be the oxidation of that metal to its ion. For example, if the cathode reaction is ( \text{Cu}^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Cu} ), the anode reaction could be ( \text{Zn} \rightarrow \text{Zn}^{2+} + 2e^- ), where zinc is oxidized to provide electrons for the reduction at the cathode.
Blobs in the bottle could potentially hinder the transfer of heat in the reaction, affecting the water temperature by either trapping or releasing heat. This could lead to an inaccurate measurement of the reaction's temperature or alter the rate of the reaction. It's important to ensure the bottle is free of any obstructions to obtain reliable results.
The reaction happens by itself.
