Quick answer

Gibbs free energy is ΔG = ΔH − TΔS. A negative ΔG means the reaction is spontaneous at that temperature.

ΔG = ΔH − TΔS

Frequently asked questions

What does a negative ΔG mean?

The reaction releases usable energy and proceeds spontaneously in the forward direction at that temperature.

Why divide ΔS by 1000?

ΔH is quoted in kJ/mol while ΔS is quoted in J/mol·K, so ΔS must be converted to kJ before subtracting.
