Predict whether the changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy will be positive or negative for the boiling of water, and explain your predictions. How does temperature affect the spontaneity of this process?

you know the Gibbs free energy equation?!?!

$dG = dH – TdS$

I think if you start somewhere simpler and play around with Legendre Transformations, you can get to these quite readily.  But it's soooo fiddly it's untrue :/

I'm really not very good at TD, but I can hack the math.  You can start from the first 2 laws of Thermo, combined as follows:

$dU = T \ dS − p \ dV + \mu  \ dN$
