Question 1

Which of the following statements best describes an exothermic reaction?

Accepted Answer

It gives off heat to the surroundings, resulting in a negative $\Delta H$.

Question 2

Which equation correctly relates Gibbs free energy change ($\Delta G$) to enthalpy and entropy?

Accepted Answer

$\Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S$

Question 3

A reaction has $\Delta H = -100$ kJ and $\Delta S = +200$ J/K at $T = 298$ K. What is $\Delta G$ for the reaction?

Accepted Answer

$\Delta G = -100,000 - (298 	imes 0.2)$ J = -100,059.6$ J
