Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine why the Gibbs free energy criteria is better than the entropy criteria for predicting the spontaneity of a reaction, we can break down the concepts involved step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Spontaneity**: - Spontaneity of a reaction refers to whether a reaction can occur without external intervention. This can be predicted using thermodynamic criteria. 2. **Gibbs Free Energy (ΔG)**: ...

What are the units of entropy and free energy?

Assertion (A): The thermodynamic factor which determines the spontaneity of a process is the free energy. For a process to be spontaneous the free energy must be-ve. Reason (R ) : The change in free energy is related to the change in a process must always be positive if its is spontaneous.

When spontaneous process occurs then free energy of a system

Criteria for spontaneity of process is :-
