Interpretation:
The standard free energy change
Concept introduction:
Entropy is the measure of randomness in the system. Standard entropy change in a reaction is the difference in entropy of the products and reactants.
Where,
Standard entropy change in a reaction and entropy change in the system are same.
Enthalpy is the amount energy absorbed or released in a process.
The enthalpy change in a system
Where,
Free energy (Gibbs free energy) is the term that is used to explain the total energy content in a
