What is the significance of the Gibbs Free Energy in chemical thermodynamics?
Correct Answer: Gibbs Free Energy ka significance yeh hai ki yeh chemical reaction ki spontaneity aur direction ko predict karne mein madad karta hai.
- Step 1: Understand that Gibbs Free Energy (G) is a measure of the energy available to do work in a chemical system.
- Step 2: Recognize that it combines two important factors: enthalpy (total energy) and entropy (disorder).
- Step 3: Learn that a negative change in Gibbs Free Energy (ΔG < 0) indicates that a reaction can occur spontaneously.
- Step 4: Realize that a positive change in Gibbs Free Energy (ΔG > 0) means the reaction is not spontaneous and will not occur without external energy.
- Step 5: Understand that Gibbs Free Energy helps predict the direction of a reaction: whether it will proceed forward or backward.
