Gibbs and concepts
What sort of conceptual things would we have to know regarding Gibbs Free Energy? Just wondering how we may have to apply it on a test.

Re: Gibbs and concepts
You should probably know the values at which delta H and delta S will create a spontaneous reaction

Re: Gibbs and concepts
You will also probably need to know if a reaction is exergonic or endergonic based on the value of G.
Re: Gibbs and concepts
In addition, another concept that is good to keep in the back of your mind which Dr. Lavelle covered in lecture is that the numerical value of G has no bearing on how fast the reaction is happening. For example, a reaction with delta G = -344 kJ/mole is not necessarily happening at a faster rate that a reaction with delta G = -23 kJ/mole.
