    According to this formula, when:

    ΔG = ΔH - T*ΔS

    when the reaction is thermodynamically spontaneous ΔG < 0

    ∴ ΔH - T * ΔS = 0

    ∴T*ΔS = ΔH

    ∴ T = ΔH / ΔS

    when we have:

    ΔH = - 70KJ

    and ΔS = - 0.4 KJ/K

    So by substitution:

    T = - 70KJ / - 0.4

    = 175 K

    ∴the certain temperature below which the reaction will be thermodynamically spontaneous is 175 K
