The release of free energy drives the spontaneous reaction.
Spontaneity can be <span>determined
using the change in </span>Gibbs free energy
(the thermodynamic potencial):
delta G=delta H – T*delta
S
where delta H is the enthalpy and delta S is the entropy.
The direction (the sign) of delta G depends of the changes
of enthalpy and entropy. If delta G is negative then the process is
spontaneous.
In our case, both delta H and delta S are negative values, the
process as said is spontaneous which means that it may proceed in the forward
direction.
Explanation:
An electrified comb is charged comb ( let say by running it through the hair) and when it is brought in the proximity of pieces of paper, the pieces tend to cling to it. This happens because the charged comb induces an opposite charge in the paper pieces and as opposite charges attract each other, the pieces are clinged.
