Calculations for spontaneity: For a certain chemical reaction, A ® B, DH° = - 35 kJ and DS° = -50 J/K. Explain whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic and give a calculation to show whether the reaction proceeds spontaneously at 298K. Account for the -ve entropy change of the system in an explanation of the outcome. (NB watch J and kJ units)
