Gibbs Free Energy
DG = DHsys - TDSsys
Gibbs free energy (DG)- Can be used to predict spontaneity.
For a constant temperature and constant pressure process:
DG < 0 The reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction.
DG > 0 The reaction is nonspontaneous as written. The reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction.
DG = 0 The reaction is at equilibrium.
-DG = -T(+DSuniv)
+DG = -T(-DSuniv)
DSuniv > 0
-TDSuniv = DHsys - TDSsys
DSuniv < 0
DG = -T(DSuniv) = 0 DSuniv = 0

Gibbs Free Energy
DG = DH - TDS• If you know DG for reactants and products then you can
calculate if a reaction is spontaneous. • If you know DG for two reaction then you can calculate if the
sum is spontaneous. • If you know DS, DH and T then you can calculate spontaneity. • Can predict the temperature when a reaction becomes
spontaneous.• If you have DHvap or DHfus and DS you can predict boiling and
freezing points.• If you have DHvap or DHfus and T you can predict the entropy
change during a phase change.• Can predict equilibrium shifts.

• Arguably most important equation in chemical thermodynamics!
• It allows us to calculate the extent of a chemical reaction if its enthalpy and entropy changes are known.
• The changes in enthalpy and entropy can be evaluated by measuring the variation of the equilibrium constant with temperature.
• This relationship is only valid for the standard conditions, i.e. when the activities of all reactants and products are equal to 1.

DG° vs DGYou have already delta ΔG°, ΔS° and ΔH° in which the ° indicates that all components are in their standard states.
Definition of “standard”:
*There is no "standard temperature", but we usually use 298.15 K (25° C).
• Even if we start a reaction at standard conditions (1 M) the reaction will quickly deviate from standard.
• DG° indicates whether reactants or products are favored at equilibrium.
• DG at any give time is used to predict the direction shift to reach equilibrium.
• If a mixture is not at equilibrium, the liberation of the excess Gibbs free energy (DG) is the “driving force” for the composition of the mixture to change until equilibrium is reached. 18

non-standard free-energy(kJ/mol)
The sign of DG tells us that the reaction would have to shift to the left to reach equilibrium.
DG < 0, reaction will shift rightDG > 0, reaction will shift leftDG = 0, the reaction is at equilibrium
The magnitude of DG tells us how far it has to go to reach equilibrium. 19
If Q/K < 1, then ln Q/K < 0; the reaction proceeds to the right (DG < 0)
If Q/K > 1, then ln Q/K > 0; the reaction proceeds to the left (DG > 0)
If Q/K = 1, then ln Q/K = 0; the reaction is at equilibrium (DG = 0)
