Which factor does NOT affect the Gibbs Free Energy of a reaction?
Correct Answer: Nature of the solvent
- Step 1: Understand what Gibbs Free Energy is. It is a measure of the energy available to do work in a chemical reaction.
- Step 2: Identify the factors that can affect Gibbs Free Energy. These include temperature, pressure, and concentration of reactants and products.
- Step 3: Recognize that the nature of the solvent refers to the type of liquid in which the reaction occurs.
- Step 4: Realize that while the solvent can influence reaction rates and mechanisms, it does not directly change the Gibbs Free Energy.
- Step 5: Conclude that the factor that does NOT affect Gibbs Free Energy is the nature of the solvent.
