we have ΔG=ΔH-TΔS
When ΔS is positive and ΔH is negative, a process is always spontaneous
When ΔS is positive and ΔH is positive, a process is spontaneous at high temperatures, where exothermicity plays a small role in the balance.
When ΔS is negative and ΔH is negative, a process is spontaneous at low temperatures, where exothermicity is important.
When ΔS is negative and ΔH is positive, a process is not spontaneous at any temperature, but the reverse process is spontaneous.
