The question asks if BaCl2 + H2SO4 is a spontaneous reaction, and what does that tell you about delta g. My prediction is that delta G is positive, hence the reaction is not spontaneous. My logic is that one of the products is 2HCl, which has a pka of -7 while H2SO4 is only -3. Since the disassociation favors HCl, it is more likely that the reactants will not go forward with the reaction, hence delta g is positive. Is this the case, or is my logic mistaken?
