dG is negative. The reaction is spontaneous.
dG = -; rxn spontaneous
dG = 0; rxn about 50/50
dG = +; rxn not spontaneous in the direction shown but is spontaneous for the reverse rxn.
The G value for formation of gaseous water at 298 K and 1 atm is -278 kJ/mol. What is the nature of the spontaneity of formation of gaseous water at these conditions?
