Question

Write the correct condition for spontaneity in terms of Gibbs energy.

Answer 1

Answer:

ΔG < 0 (Negative Gibbs free energy change)

Explanation:

The change in Gibbs free energy is given by: \[ \Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S \]

- A process is **spontaneous** when ΔG is **negative**. - It is **non-spontaneous** when ΔG is **positive**. - It is at **equilibrium** when ΔG = 0.
