  2. When ΔS = 0.
  3. For a spontaneous reaction.
  4. For an endothermic reaction.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In which scenario would ΔG be equal to ΔH?
  • Step 1: Understand what ΔG means. ΔG is the change in free energy of a system.
  • Step 2: Understand what ΔH means. ΔH is the change in enthalpy, or total heat content, of a system.
  • Step 3: Know what ΔS means. ΔS is the change in entropy, which measures the disorder or randomness in a system.
  • Step 4: Recognize the relationship between ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS. The equation is ΔG = ΔH - TΔS, where T is the temperature in Kelvin.
  • Step 5: Identify when ΔG equals ΔH. This happens when ΔS is zero, meaning there is no change in disorder.
  • Step 6: Conclude that if there is no change in disorder (ΔS = 0), then ΔG will equal ΔH.
