Chemical thermodynamics Flashcards
1
Q
what is G (gibbs)
A
- a measure of the maximum work (other than PV work) which can be obtained from a system
2
Q
when is G at a minimum
A
- when the system is at equilibrium, so can do no work
deltaG = 0
3
Q
when is deltaG less than or equal too 0
A
- during spontaneous change
