What is the name and symbol of the single thermodynamic quantity which determines whether or not a reaction is spontaneous?
Gibbs free energy -- symbol G. If the change in Gibbs free energy for a reaction is negative, the reaction is spontaneous. If it is zero, you are at equilibrium. If it is positive, the reaction is NOT spontaneous.G ≡ H -TS (or in another useful form dG = dH -TdS)whereH is enthalpyT is absolute temperatureS is entropy
If the sign of H is and the sign of S is then the magnitude of T S must be than the magnitude of dH for the reaction to be spontaneous The Gibbs free energy equation is G?
If the sign of ΔH is _______ and the sign of ΔS is _______ , then the magnitude of TΔS must be ________ than the magnitude of ΔH for the reaction to be spontaneous. The Gibbs free energy equation is ΔG = ΔH - TΔS. negative; negative; less
Is a symbol which stands for the value equal to the entirely enthalpy minus the temperature times enthropy . It can be used to determine if a reaction will take place?
The change in Gibbs Free Energy (∆Gº) predicts if a reaction is spontaneous or not. The equation for this is ∆G = ∆H - T∆S where ∆H is the change in enthalpy, T is temperature in Kelvin, and ∆S in change in entropy.
How do you use the Gibbs free energy equation to find the Gibbs free energy change for the formation of nitrosyl chloride?

How do you use the Gibbs free energy equation to find the Gibbs free energy change for the formation of ammonia at 25 degrees C?
The Gibbs free energy change is calculated from the expression Δ G = Δ H - T(Δ S) For the formation of ammonia N2 + 3H2 --> 2 NH3 you need to find the enthalpy and entropy changes, which are Δ H (formation) = - 45.92 kJ/mol Δ S (formation) = - 98.39 J/mol/K Substituting into the first equation, remembering to divide the entropy value by 1000 because it's in J per mol per kelvin, not kJ, and converting the 25 degrees C to kelvin, we get: Δ G = -45.92 kJ http://www.docbrown.info/page07/delta3SGc.htm
What affects the magnitude of delta G?
Delta G is the change in Gibbs free energy. Gibbs Free energy is defined as:- G= H-TS at constant temperature so the factors ar the change in enthalpy (H) and entropy (S)
According to the Gibbs free energy equation G H - TS when is a reaction always spontaneous?
when H is negative and S is positive
How is Gibbs Free energy evaluated?
Enthalpy (H) or thermal energy content of the system entropy (S) of the degree of disorder of a system.
How can you decide whether a chemical process is spontaneous?
Whether or not a chemical process is spontaneous is determined by a variable named the Gibbs' free energy, or just Gibbs' energy, given by the formula G = H - TS, where G is the Gibbs' energy, H is enthalpy, T is temperature and S is entropy. A negative G implies that the chemical process is spontaneous and will occur by itself, and a positive G implies that energy is required to make the reaction occur.
Why entropy is denoted as S?
Scientific convention - just historical and by agreement. Same with enthalpy = H but free energy G is after Gibbs.
How is enthalpy related to spontaneity of a reaction?
S > 0 contributes to spontaneity.

What is Gibbs Free energy?
The usable energy released or absorbed by a reaction.
According to the Gibbs free energy equation G H - T S when could a high temperature make a reaction that was nonspontaneous at low temperature spontaneous?
when h and s are both positive
What information does gibb's free energy give about reaction?
When the Gibbs free energy for a reaction is greater than zero, the reaction is "disfavored" - won't proceed in that direction - in fact it may try go in the reverse direction if possible. When the Gibbs free energy for a reaction is less than zero, the reaction is "favored" - it should proceed as written spontaneously. When the Gibbs free energy for a reaction is exactly zero - it is in equilibrium, with the forward and back ward reactions occurring at the same rate.
If the sign of H is and the sign of S is then the magnitude of T S must be than the magnitude of dH for the reaction to be spontaneous The Gibbs free energy equation is G?
If the sign of ΔH is _______ and the sign of ΔS is _______ , then the magnitude of TΔS must be ________ than the magnitude of ΔH for the reaction to be spontaneous. The Gibbs free energy equation is ΔG = ΔH - TΔS. negative; negative; less
When was N. H. Gibbs born?
N. H. Gibbs was born in 1910.
