  • Understanding Gibbs Free Energy Change

    You know that a change in free energy, delta (d) G = dH - TdS. That means that the change in free energy is related to three terms, enthalpy, temperature and entropy. When dG is negative, then the reaction is spontaneous.

  • 2nd Law of Thermodynamics and Gibbs Free Energy

    The definition of the Gibbs free energy change is: ∆G = ∆H - T∆S, where ∆H is the enthalpy change of the system, T is the temperature in Kelvin, and ∆S is the entropy change of the system.
