AP Chem Gibbs Free Energy

What does Gibbs Free Energy tell us?

• How much energy is given off by a reaction.

• The tendency of a reaction to become "random"

• How spontaneous a reaction is.

What information do we need to perform a calculation of Gibbs Free Energy?

• Enthalpy of the reaction.

• Entropy of the reaction.

• The temperature of the reaction in Kelvin.

• All of the above are needed.

Spontaneous reactions may be extremely slow.

• True
• False
