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).

Frequently Asked Questions

ΔG = 0?

The reaction is at equilibrium.
