What positions do minimum enthalpy and maximum entropy tend toward?

Question

H2[g] + Br2[l] <-> 2HBr[g] + energy

Minimum Enthalpy / Maximum Entropy
a) products / products
b) products / reactants
c) reactants / products
d) reactants / reactants

and why?

Answer 1

For the forward reaction (from left to right), there is a decrease in enthalpy, which indicates it will tend to proceed as written, to products.
The entropy increases from left to right (products are gaseous), and this also favours the forward reaction to proceed to products.
