Unit One, Chapter Fifteen - Gibbs Free Energy Flashcards
1
Q
What is gibbs standard free energy
A
A measure of the potential work that may be done by a system at constant temperature and pressure
2
Q
How can we calculate feasibility of a reaction under standard conditions
A
Using the calculated value of the change in standard free energy
3
Q
What is the equation for deltaG used for? (in data booklet)
A
To calculate the standard free energy change for a reaction
4
Q
A reaction os feasible under standard conditions if…
A
The change in standard free energy between reactants and products is negative (meaning equilibrium favours products over reactants)
5
Q
Under non-standard conditions, any reaction is feasible if…
A
DeltaG is negative
