Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following expressions correctly relates ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS?
  • Step 1: Understand the symbols. ΔG represents the change in Gibbs free energy, ΔH represents the change in enthalpy (heat content), and ΔS represents the change in entropy (disorder).
  • Step 2: Recognize that these three quantities are related in thermodynamics, which studies energy changes in chemical reactions.
  • Step 3: Learn the formula that connects these three quantities: ΔG = ΔH - TΔS.
  • Step 4: In this formula, T represents the temperature in Kelvin. It shows how temperature affects the relationship between enthalpy and entropy.
  • Step 5: Remember that a negative ΔG indicates a spontaneous process, meaning the reaction can occur without external energy.
