| Question | Answer |
|---|---|

| Endothermic | H > 0 |
| Exothermic | H < 0 |
| What is the letter symbol for Entropy? | S |

| Final state is less ordered than initial state in entropy? | S > 0 |
| What is the letter symbol for Free Energy? | G |
| Equation for Free Energy | G = H - TS |
| Exergonic | (delta)G < 0, High energy to low energy, spontaneous |
| Endergonic | (delta)G > 0, Low energy to high energy, non spontaneous |
| Free Energy Change Equation | (delta)G = (delta)H - T(delta)S |
| (delta)G = (delta)H - T(delta)S < 0 | Spontaneous |
| (delta)G = (delta)H - T(delta)S > 0 | Non spontaneous |
| Free Energy Change depends on | Characteristic, Concentration, Stoichiometry, Temp |
| Standard Free Energy Change Symbol | (delta)G° |
| Standard Free Energy Change Equation | (delta)G° = -RT ln Keq |
| Biochemists Standard State Equation | (delta)G = (delta)G°’ + RT ln ([P]/[R]) |
| Keq >> 1 | (delta)G is large and negative, highly favorable |
| Keq << 1 | (delta)G is large and positive, highly unfavorable |
