Define Gibbs Free Energy (ΔG).
Think about spontaneity in reactions.
What does a negative ΔG° indicate?
Remember the sign indicates favorability.
What does a negative ΔG° tell us about equilibrium constant K?
Think about the reaction's direction.
True or False: When ΔG° is positive, K is usually less than 1.
Recall the definitions of positive and negative ΔG.
Consider a reaction where ΔH° = -100 kJ/mol and ΔS° = 200 J/mol·K. Evaluate ΔG° at 300 K and determine if the reaction will be spontaneous based on K.
Use the formulas carefully and remember to convert units!
A system has ΔG° = 5 kJ/mol at 298 K. What would be the equilibrium constant K? Is the reaction spontaneous?
Pay attention to signs when calculating K!
