Description
At the end of this activity, students should be able to: – define free energy change and use it to determine whether a reaction is feasible or not – discuss the effect of ?H° and ?S° values on free energy change – explain why most exothermic processes are spontaneous but only certain endothermic processes are spontaneous – discuss how lattice formation enthalpy, enthalpy of hydration and entropy change affect the solubility of ionic compounds in water – correlate the feasibility of a reaction with the temperature – explain dynamic equilibrium in terms of free energy change.
