Key Concepts

Hess's Law

Hess's law states that the overall change in free energy for a reaction is independent of the pathway taken, provided the initial and final conditions are the same. This allows the calculation of the ?G for a complex reaction by algebraically combining the ?G values of individual reactions that sum to the overall reaction.

Gibbs Free Energy

Gibbs free energy (?G) quantifies the maximum reversible work a system can perform at constant temperature and pressure and helps determine reaction spontaneity. A negative ?G indicates a spontaneous process, while a positive ?G signifies non-spontaneity under standard conditions.
