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.
The lymphatic system plays several crucial roles in the human body, functioning as a key component of the immune system and contributing to the maintenance of fluid balance. Its main functions include:
1. Immune Response: The lymphatic system produces and transports lymphocytes, which are a type of
asegid
to transport fluids fats proteins and lymphocytes to the blood stream as lymph
Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body, while physiology is the study of the function of the body. Anatomy looks at the body's organs and systems, while physiology looks at how those organs and systems work together to keep the body functioning.
Enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in our bodies. Enzymes are essential for digestion, liver function and much more. Too much or too little of a certain enzyme can cause health problems

how does the stomach protect itself from the damaging effects of HCl
the normal temperature is 37°c or 98.6 °Fahrenheit is important for maintaining the homeostasis in the body
the body regular this temperature through the process called thermoregulation which involves brain skin muscle and other organ working together to maintain stable internal temperature
