Question 1

What is change in Gibbs free energy

Answer 1

• it is the change in the enthalpy and the change in entropy as a system undergoes a process
• > indicates whether the reaction is spontaneous or not spontaneous

Question 2

What is the standard free energy

Answer 2

• the concentrations of any solutions in the reaction are 1 M
• the standard free energy is the free energy that occurs when 1 mole of a compound in its standard state is produced from its respective elements in their standard states under standard conditions
