Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The sign and relative magnitude of change in enthalpy, change in entropy and -T
Concept Introduction: A reaction is said to be spontaneous if the value of change in Gibbs free energy is negative. The relation between the change in Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and entropy at given temperature is represented as follows:
Here, T is absolute temperature.
