Gibbs free energy (
G ) is a state function defined with regard to system quantities only and may be used to predict the spontaneity of a process. A negative value for Δ
G indicates a spontaneous process; a positive Δ
G indicates a nonspontaneous process; and a Δ
G of zero indicates that the system is at equilibrium. A number of approaches to the computation of free energy changes are possible.

What is the difference between Δ
G , Δ
G °, and
for a chemical change?
A reactions has
= 100 kJ/mol and
Is the reaction spontaneous at room temperature? If not, under what temperature conditions will it become spontaneous?
The reaction is nonspontaneous at room temperature.
Above 400 K, Δ
G will become negative, and the reaction will become spontaneous.
Use the standard free energy of formation data in
Appendix G to determine the free energy change for each of the following reactions, which are run under standard state conditions and 25 °C. Identify each as either spontaneous or nonspontaneous at these conditions.

(a) Determine the standard free energy of formation,
for phosphoric acid.
(b) How does your calculated result compare to the value in
Appendix G ? Explain.
(a) −1124.3 kJ/mol for the standard free energy change. (b) The calculation agrees with the value in
Appendix G because free energy is a state function (just like the enthalpy and entropy), so its change depends only on the initial and final states, not the path between them.
Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments
_Adnan
But not all bacteria make spores, l mean Eukaryotic cells have Mitochondria which acts as powerhouse for them, since bacteria don't have it, what is the substitution for it?
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
There are nothing like emergency disease but there are some common medical emergency which can occur simultaneously like Bleeding,heart attack,Breathing difficulties,severe pain heart stock.Hope you will get my point .Have a nice day ❣️

define infection ,prevention and control
Innocent
I think infection prevention and control is the avoidance of all things we do that gives out break of infections and promotion of health practices that promote life
