Gibbs energy minimum
• Consider the reaction: A B (isomerization) suppose that dξ of A
converts to B so dnA = -dξ and dnB = +dξ (ξ is called the extend of
reaction). From chapter 5, at constant P and T. so . The reaction
Gibbs energy (ΔrG) can also be defined as the slope of Gibbs energy
with respect to the extend of reaction:
∆ 𝑟 𝐺=𝜇 𝐵 −𝜇 𝐴
• < 0 the forward reaction is spontaneous
• > 0 the reverse reaction is spontaneous
𝜇𝐵 < 𝜇𝐴
• = 0 the reaction is at equilibrium
𝜇𝐵 > 𝜇𝐴

• If Reaction proceeds towards reactants
• If Reaction proceeds towards products
• Note that K only depends on temperature
• Consider the reaction
How will each of the following change the direction of the process?
a) Addition of NH3
b) Addition of H2
The response to temperature
• Endothermic reactions: increased temperature favors the products,
increases K
• Exothermic reactions: increased temperature favors the reactants,
decreases K
• Van’t Hoff equation: or
• or
• The data below show the temperature variation of the equilibrium
