This lesson includes 7 practice questions to reinforce learning.
View questions preview
1. Define Gibbs free energy and explain its relationship to the spontaneity of a reaction.
2. State the equation for Gibbs free energy and identify what each variable represents.
3. Explain how enthalpy (ΔH) and entropy (ΔS) affect the spontaneity of a reaction. Give an example of a reaction that is spontaneous due to favorable enthalpy and entropy changes.
