Question
Chapter 7.3, Problem 4LO
Summary Introduction
To explain: The way in which changes in free energy in a reaction are related to changes in entropy and enthalpy.
Introduction: Under conditions of a biochemical reaction, free energy (G) is defined as the amount of energy available to perform work. Entropy is defined as the degree of randomness in a system and enthalpy is defined as the total potential energy of a system.
