Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is true about the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) for a spontaneous process?
  • Step 1: Understand what Gibbs free energy (ΔG) is. It is a measure of the energy available to do work in a system.
  • Step 2: Learn about spontaneous processes. A spontaneous process is one that occurs naturally without needing to be driven by an external force.
  • Step 3: Know the relationship between ΔG and spontaneity. For a process to be spontaneous, the change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG) must be negative.
  • Step 4: Remember the rule: If ΔG < 0, the process is spontaneous. This means that the system is losing energy and can do work.
  • Step 5: Conclude that for a spontaneous process, ΔG is less than 0.
