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.
What else can I help you with?
What conditions will a low temperature make a reaction spontaneous?
if H and S are both negative
What is the value of G0 for a reaction that is spontaneous?
The value of G0, or standard Gibbs free energy change, for a spontaneous reaction at standard conditions is less than zero (G0 < 0). This negative value indicates that the reaction can occur without the input of external energy. In contrast, if G0 is greater than zero, the reaction is non-spontaneous under standard conditions. The Gibbs free energy change is a key indicator of the thermodynamic favorability of a reaction.
Why is an energy absorbing reaction or an energy releasing reaction more likely to be spontaneous?
To become spontanious,energy should be released.
What are a set of conditions would result in a reaction that is unambiguously non-spontaneous?
endothermic, increasing entropy
What information is needed to be certain that a chemical reaction is non spontaneous?
To determine if a chemical reaction is non-spontaneous, you need information about the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) for the reaction. If ΔG is positive, the reaction is non-spontaneous under the given conditions. Additionally, knowing the temperature and pressure conditions, as well as the enthalpy (ΔH) and entropy (ΔS) changes, can help clarify the spontaneity of the reaction using the Gibbs free energy equation: ΔG = ΔH - TΔS.
A chemical reaction has a positive H value and a positive S value Under what conditions is the reaction spontaneous?
The spontaneity of a reaction is determined by the sign of the Gibbs free energy (ΔG). If both enthalpy (H) and entropy (S) are positive, the reaction can be spontaneous at high temperatures where the TΔS term outweighs the positive ΔH term, resulting in a negative ΔG. This means the reaction will be spontaneous at elevated temperatures.
At what value of g does a reaction become spontaneous, and what is the numerical value of this threshold?
A reaction becomes spontaneous when the Gibbs free energy (G) is negative. The numerical value of this threshold varies depending on the specific reaction.
What conditions will a low temperature make a reaction spontaneous?
if H and S are both negative
Is the reaction exergonic and spontaneous or not?
Yes, the reaction is exergonic and spontaneous.
What is the value of G0 for a reaction that is spontaneous?
The value of G0, or standard Gibbs free energy change, for a spontaneous reaction at standard conditions is less than zero (G0 < 0). This negative value indicates that the reaction can occur without the input of external energy. In contrast, if G0 is greater than zero, the reaction is non-spontaneous under standard conditions. The Gibbs free energy change is a key indicator of the thermodynamic favorability of a reaction.
A chemical reaction has a positive ΔH value and a positive ΔS value Under what conditions is the reaction spontaneous?
The reaction will be spontaneous at high temperatures (T) where TΔS > ΔH, according to Gibbs free energy equation, ΔG = ΔH - TΔS. At high enough temperatures, the TΔS term can outweigh the positive ΔH term, leading to a negative ΔG value and a spontaneous reaction.
Why is an energy absorbing reaction or an energy releasing reaction more likely to be spontaneous?
To become spontanious,energy should be released.

A reaction that occurs without provocation from an outside system is?
A spontaneous reaction.
Is the reaction spontaneous or non-spontaneous when considering the keyword "spontaneous vs non-spontaneous"?
In the context of "spontaneous vs non-spontaneous," a reaction is considered spontaneous if it occurs on its own without needing external influence. On the other hand, a non-spontaneous reaction requires external energy input to occur.
Can salt dissolve in water?
Yes, the dissociation of salt in water is a spontaneous reaction under normal conditions.
