🧠 The Spontaneity Condition
A reaction is spontaneous if the Universe's drive for chaos wins over the energy requirement. This is mathematically expressed by the Gibbs Free Energy equation: .

🗺️ The Thermodynamic Math
1. The Core Equation: 
2. Setup the Inequality: For spontaneity,  must be negative.

3. Plug in the Variables:
   - 
   - 
   
4. Solve for :

Looking at the options, any value higher than  will drive the reaction to be spontaneous. The only positive value greater tha
