Results in this unit
T-032
The first law for chemical systems
Internal energy change as heat plus work.
T-033
Entropy and the second law
Spontaneity as the increase of total entropy.
T-034
Gibbs free energy
G = H - TS decides spontaneity at constant T and P.
T-035
Free energy and the equilibrium constant
The relation dG-standard = -RT ln K.
T-036
