Study Notes
Thermodynamics
- Examines energy relationships between reactants and products in chemical reactions.
- Does not detail the steps or rate to reach final products.
- Gibbs Free Energy (ΔG) indicates spontaneity of a reaction:
- ΔG < 0: Reaction is spontaneous.
- ΔG = 0: System is at equilibrium.
- ΔG > 0: Reaction is non-spontaneous.
Chemical Kinetics
- Focuses on the rate at which reactants convert to products.
- Complements thermodynamics by providing insight into the reaction mechanisms.
- Understanding reaction rates is crucial for predicting how quickly equilibrium is achieved.
