Why is the sign of ΔG rather than the sign of ΔStotal generally used to determine the spontaneity of a chemical reaction?
A) ΔG can be used for processes that occur under any conditions.
B) ΔG involves thermodynamic functions of the system only.
C) Free energy is easier to understand than entropy.
D) Entropy is based on probability and is therefore less reliable.
