## Gibbs Free Energy

$\Delta G^{\circ}= \Delta H^{\circ} - T \Delta S^{\circ}$

$\Delta G^{\circ}= -RT\ln K$

$\Delta G^{\circ}= \sum \Delta G_{f}^{\circ}(products) - \sum \Delta G_{f}^{\circ}(reactants)$

### Gibbs Free Energy

Does a more negative Gibbs Free Energy value mean that a reaction is more spontaneous? Meaning the rate of reaction is faster?

### Re: Gibbs Free Energy

The spontaneity of a reaction does not indicate the reaction rate, so not necessarily.

### Re: Gibbs Free Energy

higher negative gibbs free energy doesnt affect the rate of reaction, it just mean that the reaction will release more energy
