Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In biological systems, what does Gibbs free energy indicate?
  • Step 1: Understand that Gibbs free energy is a measure of energy available to do work in a system.
  • Step 2: Know that it helps predict whether a reaction will happen on its own (spontaneously) or not.
  • Step 3: Learn that if the change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG) is negative, the reaction can occur spontaneously.
  • Step 4: If ΔG is positive, the reaction is not spontaneous and will not happen without additional energy.
