Values of $\Delta H$ and $\Delta S$ for five different reactions are given below. On the basis of these values,predict which one of these will be spontaneous at all temperatures.
Reaction $\Delta H \ (kJ \ mol^{-1}) / \Delta S \ (J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1})$
$I$ $+98.0, +14.8$
$II$ $-55.5, -84.6$
$III$ $+28.3, -17.0$
$IV$ $-40.5, +24.6$
$V$ $+34.7, 0.0$
