Key:
- ΔH°: Enthalpy change
- ΔS°: Entropy change
- T: Temperature
- ΔG°: Gibbs free energy change
- Spontaneous: Reaction occurs without external input.

### Conditions for Spontaneity:
1. ΔH° = +
ΔS° = -
ΔG° = +
Spontaneity: Always non-spontaneous.
2. ΔH° = -
ΔS° = +
ΔG° = -
Spontaneity: Always spontaneous.
3. ΔH° = +
ΔS° = +
- If ΔG° = -, Spontaneity: Spontaneous at high T.
- If ΔG° = +, Spontaneity: Non-spontaneous at low T.
4. ΔH° = -
ΔS° = -
- If ΔG° = +, Spontaneity: Non-spontaneous at high T.
- If ΔG° = -, Spontaneity: Spontaneous at low T.
