Thermodynamics: Free Energy Change

Thermodynamics: Free Energy Change

  • Gibbs Free Energy change (∆G) must be zero or negative for a feasible change.
  • It is determined by the balance of enthalpy and entropy at a specific temperature.
  • The key equation is ∆G = ∆H – T∆S.
  • This equation is used to find how ∆G changes with temperature.
  • It also helps determine the temperature at which a reaction becomes feasible.
