The above data is taking from HSC program . For the urea production from 300-400 (K)

well , my qustion is that why ∆G0 from 300-315 has a negative sign ??

since i know that if S (-)  H and G should be (+)

please if anyone knows help me

because i want to know ??!!!

Im not so sure I understand what you mean. Usually for chemical rxns the relation ∆G = ∆H - T∆S is used to calculate the value of ∆G. In the temperature range you've shown the value of ∆S is negative and so is ∆H. So the sign of ∆G depends on the magnitudes of the enthalpy and entropy. Because |T∆S| < |∆H| the sign of ∆G is negative. As the temperature increases |∆H| decreases while |T∆S| increases so ∆G becomes positive after T=315K.
