Compare the following criteria for spontaneity of a reaction based on the values of $\Delta_{\text{r}}H^0$,$\Delta_{\text{r}}S^0$,and $\Delta_{\text{r}}G^0$:

For the conversion of limestone to lime,$CaCO_{3(s)} \rightarrow CaO_{(s)} + CO_{2(g)}$,the values of $\Delta H^{\circ}$ and $\Delta S^{\circ}$ at $298 \, K$ and $1 \, bar$ pressure are $+179.1 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$ and $160.2 \, J \, K^{-1} \, mol^{-1}$ respectively. Assuming $\Delta H^{\circ}$ and $\Delta S^{\circ}$ do not change with temperature,at what temperature (in $K$) will the conversion of limestone to lime become spontaneous (in $, K$)?

Assertion: Many endothermic reactions that are not spontaneous at room temperature become spontaneous at high temperature.
Reason: Entropy of the system increases with increase in temperature.
