Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: Whether the starting material or product is favored at equilibrium is to be predicted on the basis of the given value of ΔH°.

Concept introduction: The change in Gibbs free energy and enthalpy is represented by ΔG° and ΔH° respectively. They both are state functions. The relation of ΔG° and ΔH° is shown as,

ΔG°=ΔH°TΔS°

The change in Gibbs free energy describes the spontaneity of the reaction, whereas the change in enthalpy describes the relative bond strength in the substance.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The starting material or product which is favored at equilibrium is to be identified.

Concept introduction: The change in Gibbs free energy and enthalpy is represented by ΔG° and ΔH° respectively. They both are state functions. The relation of ΔG° and ΔH° is shown as,

ΔG°=ΔH°TΔS°

The change in Gibbs free energy describes the spontaneity of the reaction, whereas the change in enthalpy describes the relative bond strength in the substance.
