Thermochemistry measures heat involved in reactions: ΔH (enthalpy change), ΔS (entropy change), ΔG (Gibbs free energy).
Guida passo passo
- 1Input reaction and temperature
- 2Calculate ΔH from bond energies or Hess's law
- 3Determine spontaneity: ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
Esempi risolti
Ingresso
Combustion: exothermic (ΔH < 0), entropy increases (ΔS > 0)
Risultato
Spontaneous at all temperatures (ΔG < 0)
Errori comuni da evitare
- ✕Assuming exothermic always spontaneous
- ✕Not accounting for temperature dependence
Domande frequenti
When is reaction spontaneous?
ΔG < 0; depends on temperature through ΔH - TΔS balance.
