2. ΔH (enthalpy) = -100 kJ/mol
3. Temperature = 298 K
4. ΔS (entropy) = 50 J/mol·K
5.
6. ΔG = -114.9kJ/mol
7. Spontaneous? = Yes (spontaneous)

Gibbs free energy predicts whether a reaction proceeds spontaneously.

The math behind it

ΔG = ΔH − T·ΔS (ΔS converted from J to kJ). ΔG < 0 is spontaneous.

Worked example

ΔH −100, 298 K, ΔS 50 → ΔG −114.9 kJ/mol (spontaneous).

FAQ

ΔG = 0?

The reaction is at equilibrium.
