Iceman Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 So, i'm sitting in my Physics class, the bell goes, and everyone packs up, my teacher screams as we're all leaving "HOMEWORK: FIND OUT WHAT GIBB'S FREE ENERGY THEORY IS!", and after a google search, i find nothing. So i thought i'd ask here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radagast Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Gibb's Free Energy is the relationship between enthalpy and entropy, to help determine whether a reaction will be spontaneous or not. If the enthalpy is negative and entropy is positive, the reaction will always be spontaneous. With the opposite (enthalpy positive, entropy negative) the reaction will never be spontaneous. Forumla: G = (Change in Enthalpy) - (Temperature)(Change in Entropy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman Posted November 7, 2004 Author Share Posted November 7, 2004 Thanks Radagast, i just wrote all that into my book how i've understood it now that you've explained it..let's just hope my interpretation of what you just said is right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
