Computing Gibbs Free Energy for a Reaction
?G?reaction = ? ?G?f(products) - ?G?f(reactants)
Exercise 20.8. Calculate the standard free energy change for the combustion of 1.00 mol of benzene, C6H6(l)? (see Appendix L, p A-31)
What should ?G?reaction be for a reaction to be product favored? Reactant favored?
- Negative ?G?reaction favors product formation
- Positive ?G?reaction favors reactant formation
