Thermochemistry measures heat involved in reactions: ΔH (enthalpy change), ΔS (entropy change), ΔG (Gibbs free energy).

Guide étape par étape

  1. 1Input reaction and temperature
  2. 2Calculate ΔH from bond energies or Hess's law
  3. 3Determine spontaneity: ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

Exemples résolus

Entrée
Combustion: exothermic (ΔH < 0), entropy increases (ΔS > 0)
Résultat
Spontaneous at all temperatures (ΔG < 0)

Erreurs courantes à éviter

  • Assuming exothermic always spontaneous
  • Not accounting for temperature dependence

Questions fréquentes

When is reaction spontaneous?

ΔG < 0; depends on temperature through ΔH - TΔS balance.
