Purpose of ΔG\Delta G

Predicts feasibility from ΔH\Delta H and ΔS\Delta S

Gibbs free energy equation

ΔG=ΔHTΔS\Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S

ΔG\Delta G value for feasible reaction

Zero or negative

Meaning of ΔG<0\Delta G < 0

Spontaneous reaction

Meaning of ΔG=0\Delta G = 0

Reaction at equilibrium

ΔH\Delta H favouring feasibility

ΔH<0\Delta H < 0 (releases energy)

ΔS\Delta S favouring feasibility

ΔS>0\Delta S > 0 (increases disorder)

Convert ΔS\Delta S J to kJ

Divide by 1000

Formula for temp at ΔG=0\Delta G = 0

T=ΔHΔST = \frac{\Delta H}{\Delta S}

ΔS\Delta S for phase transition

ΔS=ΔHT\Delta S = \frac{\Delta H}{T}
