Under what conditions the heat evolved and absoebed in a reacrion is equal to its free energy change?
The heat evolved and absorbed in a reaction is equal to free energy change when change in entropy of a system is zero i.e., there is no change in randomness of system.
∆G = ∆H - T∆S
where ∆G is free energy change, ∆H is enthalpy change (tells abot the reaction is exothermic or endothermic) of reaction and ∆S is entropy change.
From the relation it is clear that ∆G will be equal to ∆H when ∆S is zero.
∆G = ∆H - T∆S
where ∆G is free energy change, ∆H is enthalpy change (tells abot the reaction is exothermic or endothermic) of reaction and ∆S is entropy change.
From the relation it is clear that ∆G will be equal to ∆H when ∆S is zero.
