Spontaneity

Postby Hailey Boehm 2H » Fri Feb 22, 2019 9:23 pm

How do you know if a reaction is spontaneous based on its ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS values?

A reaction is considered spontaneous if the Gibbs free energy is negative. Knowing only the change in enthalpy or entropy cannot determine spontaneity.

Can spontaneity be determined by solely looking at the cell potential value?
