Chemistry 2, Part 30:  The Gibbs Free Energy and Equilibrium

Date: 2022-01-05

This time we'll look how the Gibbs Free Energy of a reaction affects equilibrium.  It turns out the direction of a chemical reaction and its reversibility are described very simply by the Gibbs Energy, and we can even use the Gibbs Energy to find K, the equilibrium constant, without needing to know anything else abut the reaction.  That can save us a lot of work!
