Document Summary

G = h -t s: delta g= free energy, delta h= enthalpy (endothermic reaction+, exothermic reaction-, delta s= entropy (more or less disorder, exergonic and endergonic, exergonic reactions are those that release energy. During these reaction the reactant has higher free energy than the product. This is expressed by -g (negative gibbs number). These reaction occurs spontaneously and their rate is usually increased by enzymes: endergonic reactions are those that store energy. During these reactions the reactant has lower free energy than the product. This is expressed by +g (positive gibbs number): spontaneous reactions are exergonic -delta g (delta h also negative, tends to be spontaneous when the products have less potential energy then the reactions. Contributions of enthalpy and entropy: solids are more ordered than a liquid or a gas, ice melting is an entropy driven process (massive increase in entropy) delta h is actually positive. Enzymes: enzymes catalyze something 10 ^12-10^20 faster.
