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.
Use the standard free energy 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.
what's the difference between a firm and an industry
Abdul
firm is the unit which transform inputs to output where as industry contain combination of firms with similar production 😅😅

Suppose the demand function that a firm faces shifted from
Qd 120 3P
to
Qd 90 3P
and the supply function has shifted from
QS
20 2P
to
QS
10 2P .
a) Find the effect of this change on price and quantity.
b) Which of the changes in demand and supply is higher?
Demand curve shows that how supply and others conditions affect on demand of a particular thing and what percent demand increase whith increase of supply of goods

Hi Sir please how do u calculate Cross elastic demand and income elastic demand?
