Re: Catalysts

A homogeneous catalyst is a catalyst of the same phase and a heterogeneous catalyst is a catalyst of a different phase.

Please, someone, correct me if I am wrong, but I think that isochoric is the same thing as Isometric. As in a closed system.

Re: Ecell Always Positive

Because the E°cell value of the cathode is positive and anode is negative, the Ecell will be positive as it is equal to the cathode minus the negative anode.

Re: Relation between Q and Gibbs Free Energy

Artin Allahverdian 2H wrote:To clarify if Q>K the reaction would want to shift in the reverse way to make more reactants in order to reach K. Since this will make the reverse rxn more favorable than the forward rxn, the forward rxn will not be spontaneous, and thus, delta G is 0.


That’s very helpful! Thanks again

Relation between Q and Gibbs Free Energy

If the reaction quotient (Q) is greater than the equilibrium constant what does that indicate for Gibbs free energy?
