What is spontaneous Process?
G = H TS
The Gibbs Free Energy change for
a given process is
G = H TS
(at constant T and P)
Suniv and Gibbs Free Energy (G)
Entropy S is maximized at
equilibrium
Predicting Spontaneity and G
G = H T S
nonspontaneous at
positive negative positive
all temperatures
Spontaneous if the
positive positive () or (+) temperature is high
enough
Spontaneous if the
negative negative (+) or () temperature is low
enough
Summary: Gibbs Free Energy (G)
G = H T S
When H is () and S is (+) , G is
always (). Spontaneous in the forward
direction (any T).
H is (+) and S is (), so G is always
(+). Nonspontaneous in the forward
direction (any T).
Summary: Gibbs Free Energy (G)
G = H T S
H is (+) and S is (+), so G is ()
or (+) depending on the
temperature.
Spontaneous in the forward
direction if T is high enough.
Summary: Gibbs Free Energy (G)
G = H T S
H is () and S is (), so G is (+)
or () depending on the
temperature.
Spontaneous in the forward
direction if T is low enough.
