Chemistry: A look at a seductive but wrong Gibbs spontaneity proof
Description
A look at why the "proof" of the relation between changes in Gibbs Free Energy and Spontaneity is wrong in many textbooks.
Chemistry
Did you know that everything is made out of chemicals? Chemistry is the study of matter: its composition, properties, and reactivity. This material roughly covers a first-year high school or college course, and a good understanding of algebra is helpful.
Gibbs free energy
An introduction to Gibbs free energy and how free energy relates to spontaneity and the equilibrium constant
Topic: Science
Learn about all the sciences, from physics, chemistry and biology, to cosmology and astronomy, across hundreds of videos, articles and practice questions.
