Whether a reaction took place is determined by the change in chemical composition, the formation of new substances, the release of energy or heat, and the color change or visible evidence of a chemical change. These factors indicate that a chemical reaction has occurred.
The entropy increase in this reaction.
The name of the single thermodynamic quantity is Gibbs free energy (G). The symbol for Gibbs free energy is ΔG (delta G). The sign of ΔG determines whether a reaction is spontaneous (negative ΔG) or non-spontaneous (positive ΔG).
∆G = ∆H - T∆S and for it to be spontaneous, ∆G should be negative. If both ∆H and ∆S are positive, in order to get a negative ∆H, the temperature needs to be elevated in order to make the ∆S term greater than the ∆H term. So, I guess the answer would be "the higher the temperature, the more likely will be the spontaneity of the reaction."
A reaction is spontaneous if the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) is negative. This means that the reaction can proceed without external energy input. In contrast, a reaction is nonspontaneous if ΔG is positive, meaning external energy is needed for the reaction to occur.
when H is negative and S is positive
G is always negative when H is negative and S is positive.
No, the free energy of a cell reaction is negative when the emf of the cell reaction is positive. This is because a positive emf indicates that the reaction is spontaneous and capable of performing work, resulting in a negative change in free energy.
When H is positive and S is negative
The reaction N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) → 2NH3 (g) shows an increase in entropy because it involves an increase in the number of gaseous molecules from 2 to 4. Therefore, the entropy change for this reaction is positive.
G is always positive when enthalpy increases and entropy decreases.
G is always positive when enthalpy increases and entropy decreases.
The spontaneity of a reaction is determined by the sign of the Gibbs free energy (ΔG). If both enthalpy (H) and entropy (S) are positive, the reaction can be spontaneous at high temperatures where the TΔS term outweighs the positive ΔH term, resulting in a negative ΔG. This means the reaction will be spontaneous at elevated temperatures.
Whether a reaction took place is determined by the change in chemical composition, the formation of new substances, the release of energy or heat, and the color change or visible evidence of a chemical change. These factors indicate that a chemical reaction has occurred.
a positive number is always greater than a negative number
The relationship between the change in Gibbs free energy (G) and the spontaneity of a chemical reaction is that a negative G indicates that the reaction is spontaneous, meaning it can occur without outside intervention. Conversely, a positive G indicates that the reaction is non-spontaneous and requires external energy input to proceed.
The standard Gibbs free energy change (G') is important in determining if a chemical reaction is feasible because it indicates whether the reaction will occur spontaneously. If G' is negative, the reaction is likely to proceed forward without added energy. If G' is positive, the reaction is unlikely to occur without external energy input.
