State
Gibbs free energy change combines a reaction's enthalpy and entropy changes at a given temperature: ΔG = ΔH − TΔS.
Show
A reaction with ΔH negative and ΔS positive combines both favorable terms into a ΔG that is negative at every temperature.
Watch for
ΔG folds enthalpy and entropy into one number — reading either alone, without the other, misses what actually decides spontaneity.
