Solution and Explanation
Answer:
ΔG < 0 (Negative Gibbs free energy change)
Explanation:
The change in Gibbs free energy is given by: \[ \Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S \]
- A process is **spontaneous** when ΔG is **negative**. - It is **non-spontaneous** when ΔG is **positive**. - It is at **equilibrium** when ΔG = 0.
