Detailed Solution

At all temperatures, an exothermic reaction with increasing entropy will be spontaneous. The larger mass of CO2 molecules compared to those of O2 is the primary cause of the positive entropy change. Only at temperatures below those where |TΔS|<|ΔH|, if the reaction is sufficiently exothermic, can it force G negative.
