Answer:
Gibbs equation helps us to predict the spontaneity of reaction on the basis of enthalpy and entropy values directly. When the reaction is exothermic, enthalpy of the system is negative making Gibbs free energy negative. Hence, we can say that all exothermic reactions are spontaneous.
It is.
An acid will be strong when its conjugated base is highly stable, and vice-versa.
That can occur for instance through electronic delocalization.
