Study Notes
Gibbs Free Energy and Equilibrium
- True at Equilibrium: ΔG = 0
- If Not at Equilibrium: ΔG < 0 (reaction proceeds spontaneously), ΔG > 0 (reverse reaction proceeds spontaneously)
Energy and Equilibrium of Systems
- Spontaneous Change Criterion: A process is spontaneous if it results in a decrease in the Gibbs Free Energy (ΔG < 0).
- Gibbs Free Energy: Represents the maximum amount of useful work that can be performed by a system at constant temperature and pressure.
Enthalpy vs Entropy
-
Enthalpy (ΔH)
- Change in enthalpy refers to the heat change in a reaction
- Exothermic process (ΔH < 0): releases heat
- Endothermic process (ΔH > 0) absorbs heat
-
Entropy (ΔS)
- Change in entropy refers to the change in disorder or randomness of a system
- Increase in disorder (positive ΔS)
- Decrease in disorder (negative ΔS)
- ** Gibbs Free Energy (ΔG)**
- ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
- Negative ΔG: Spontaneous reaction
- Positive ΔG: Non-spontaneous reaction
- ΔG = 0: Equilibrium reaction
Standard States of Free Energies
- Standard Free Energy (G°): Gibbs free energy of a pure substance at standard conditions (1 atm, 298 K)
- Standard Free Energy Change (ΔG°): Change in Gibbs free energy when reactants in their standard states are converted into products in their standard states.
Using ΔG Values: Example
-
ATP Hydrolysis:
- ATP → ADP + Pi
- ΔG° = −30.5 kJ mol^−1
- This negative value indicates that the reaction is spontaneous under standard conditions.
-
Protein Unfolding:
- The temperature at which a protein will unfold spontaneously can be determined from the enthalpy and entropy changes.
- A higher positive entropy change favors unfolding at a higher temperature.
