Sorry for the late reply but I've been looking around for the specific reaction with no results.  Gosh my thermodynamics is rusty but this is an endothermic reaction...
dG=dH-TdS... so I'm thinking the entropy term dominates... I wonder if anyone could correct me on that.

Sandra is the resident expert on the reaction. I'll try to get her to post it again.

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
