What does a negative ΔG value mean for a reaction?
💡 Hint: Think about what 'spontaneous' means in this context.
True or False: ΔG = 0 indicates that the reaction is non-spontaneous.
💡 Hint: Consider the definition of equilibrium.

Consider the following reaction at standard condition: N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) → 2NH₃(g). If ΔG_f°(NH₃) = -33.0 kJ/mol, ΔG_f°(N₂) = 0 kJ/mol, and ΔG_f°(H₂) = 0 kJ/mol, what is ΔG° for the reaction?
💡 Hint: Apply the Gibbs energy formula and carefully multiply the coefficients.
Calculate the equilibrium temperature (T_eq) for the reaction where ΔH = 40 kJ/mol and ΔS = 0.1 kJ/K. What does your answer mean?
💡 Hint: Ensure ΔH and ΔS are in consistent units!
