Reactivity 1. What drives chemical reactions? » Reactivity 1.4—Entropy and spontaneity (Additional higher level) » Reactivity 1.4.2—Change in Gibbs energy, ΔG, 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. Apply the equation ΔG⦵ = ΔH⦵ − TΔS⦵ to calculate unknown values of these terms.
