7 questions

1

Define Gibb's Free Energy (ΔG) and explain its significance in determining the spontaneity of a reaction.

2

Explain the relationship between ΔG, ΔH, ΔS, and T. How does each factor contribute to the spontaneity of a reaction?

Quick comprehension check

If a reaction has a ΔG value of -450 kJ/mol, is the reaction spontaneous, non-spontaneous, or at equilibrium? If a reaction has a ΔG value of +125 kJ/mol, is the reaction spontaneous, non-spontaneous, or at equilibrium? If a reaction has a ΔG value of 0 kJ/mol, is the reaction spontaneous, non-spontaneous, or at equilibrium?
