37
Q

When calculating the temperature at which a reaction becomes feasible, what is ΔG assumed to be?

A

39
Q

What does it mean if ΔG = 0?

A

The system is in equilibrium.

40
Q

What is the feasibility of an exothermic reaction with positive entropy change?

Q

What is the feasibility of an endothermic reaction with positive entropy change?

A

Feasible when T is large (ΔG negative).

42
Q

What is the feasibility of an endothermic reaction with negative entropy change?
