Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The special stability of chelates has to be explained with an example.
Concept Introduction:
Entropy means “randomness or disorderliness”. Entropy is a
The term free energy refers to available energy in the system to do work. Lesser the energy of the system more will be the stability of the system. It is denoted by ‘G’ and change in free energy is represented as
Enthalpy of the system refers to heat content of the system and it is denoted by ‘H’. Change in enthalpy is denoted as
These three thermodynamic terms are related as,
