Answer #1

Expression for Gibbs free energy change is

For the process of vaporization, enthalpy change is positive since overall, an energy gain to the system occurs during change of state from liquid to gas. So

is positive (+ sign)

In the process of vaporizaton, the randomness of the partices is increasing, since particles in the gaseous state are more free to move. So,

is also positive (+ sign)

so, if the magnitude of , the sign of is negatve and the process is spontaneous and vice-versa.
