The condensation of water has a negative ΔH and a negative ΔS. What can you conclude about the spontaneity of the process?

A negative ΔH  and ΔS suggests that the reaction is exothermic and the leads to a decrease in the entropy of the system. In this case, the spontaneity of the reaction depends on the temperature and reaction is spontaneous at low temperature and non-spontaneous at a high temperature.
