Entropy affects free energy through the relationship (equation 6), where H is enthalpy, T is absolute temperature, and SS is entropy. As entropy increases, the -TS term reduces ΔG, promoting spontaneity (ΔG<0). This aligns with the second law, as processes that increase the system's or universe's entropy often proceed spontaneously. At higher temperatures, the influence of entropy becomes more pronounced because T amplifies the contribution of -TS. For example, a reaction with a positive entropy change (ΔS>0) is more likely to be spontaneous at elevated temperatures, as the entropy-driven reduction in GG offsets any unfavorable enthalpy change (H>0).
