How will temp...
Question
How will temperature affect the spontaneity of a reaction with positive
Δ
H
and
Δ
S
?
Open in App
Solution
At constant temperature and constant pressure, the change Gibbs free energy is defined as:
Δ
G
=
Δ
H
−
t
Δ
S
If the change in Gibbs free energy is negative, then the reaction will be spontaneous.
When
Δ
H
is positive
t
Δ
S
has to be bigger than
Δ
H
so that the resulting sum would be negative.
