The equation $$ ext{δg} = ext{δh} - t ext{δs}$$ represents the Gibbs free energy change of a system, linking enthalpy (δh), temperature (t), and entropy (δs). This relationship is crucial for understanding the spontaneity of chemical reactions, where a negative Gibbs free energy indicates that a process can occur spontaneously. It highlights how both heat content and disorder influence the overall energy available to do work in chemical reactions.
congrats on reading the definition of δg = δh - tδs. now let's actually learn it.
