What is the relationship between ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS at constant temperature?
  1. ΔG = ΔH + TΔS
  2. ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
  3. ΔG = TΔS - ΔH
  4. ΔG = ΔH/ΔS

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the relationship between ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS at constant temperature?
  • Step 1: Understand the symbols. ΔG is the change in Gibbs free energy, ΔH is the change in enthalpy (heat content), and ΔS is the change in entropy (disorder).
  • Step 2: Know that T is the temperature measured in Kelvin.
  • Step 3: Learn the equation that relates these quantities: ΔG = ΔH - TΔS.
  • Step 4: Recognize that this equation shows how Gibbs free energy (ΔG) depends on both the heat content (ΔH) and the disorder (ΔS) of a system at a constant temperature (T).
  • Step 5: Remember that if ΔG is negative, the process is spontaneous; if positive, it is non-spontaneous.
