The more ways the energy can be distributed the higher the entropy. • Gibbs free energy (G) relates the energy that can be obtained from a chemical reaction to the change in enthalpy (ΔH), change in entropy (ΔS), and absolute temperature (T). • Entropy of gas greater than liquid greater than solid under same conditions. • Prediction of whether a change will result in an increase or decrease in entropy by considering the states of the reactants and products. • Calculation of entropy changes (ΔS) from given standard entropy values (Sº). • Application of ΔG° = ΔH° - TΔS° in predicting spontaneity and calculation of various conditions of enthalpy and temperature that will affect this. • Relation of ΔG to position of equilibrium.
