(a) For a process that occurs at constant temperature, does
the change in Gibbs free energy depend on changes in the
enthalpy and entropy of the system? (b) For a certain process
that occurs at constant T and P, the value of ΔG is positive.
Is the process spontaneous? (c) If ΔG for a process is
large, is the rate at which it occurs fast?
