Does a reaction with a positive ΔS and a positive ΔH favor reactants or products?
ΔH = posirtive
ΔS = posiitve
reactant / product favour depends on temperature here at high temperature products and at low temperature reactants are favoured . this can be explained based on gibbs-helmholtz equation
ΔG = ΔH - T ΔS
for products favour ΔG < 0
for reactant favour ΔG > 0
if T ΔS > ΔH the reaction favours products (at high temperature)
T ΔS < ΔH the reaction favours reactants (at low temperature)
