For this question, I thought that dG = dH - TdS.
So for endothermic reactions, the dH has to be positive, and if it is spontaneous, the dG has to be negative.
Then dS has to be positive in order to have a negative TdS value and for a chance for dG to be negative. So why in this problem is the dS stated to be positive?
