Energy Diagrams I Dr. Rusay Fall 2004
Gibbs standard free energy change (DGo) Enthalphy (DHo): the heat given off or absorbed during a reaction Entropy (DSo): a measure of freedom of motion Thermodynamic Quantities DGo = DHo - TDSo DG,DH,DS,DE are state functions E = q + w H = qp If DSo is small compared to DHo, DGo ~ DHo
