📐 Formula
💡 Practical Example
Exothermic reaction with ΔH = -100 kJ/mol and ΔS = +150 J/(mol·K) at T = 298.15 K (25°C): ΔS in kJ = 0.150 kJ/(mol·K). ΔG = -100 - = -100 - 44.72 = -144.72 kJ/mol.
📖 About Gibbs Free Energy Thermodynamic Spontaneity Calculator
Gibbs Free Energy combines enthalpy and entropy into a single state function determining whether a chemical reaction or physical process occurs spontaneously at constant temperature and pressure.
To use the Gibbs Free Energy Thermodynamic Spontaneity Calculator, enter your Enthalpy Change, Entropy Change, Absolute Temperature (T). The calculator instantly computes Gibbs Free Energy Change, Thermodynamic Spontaneity Status and more. Results update in real time as you change any input — no submit button needed.
How to Use This Calculator
Enter your Enthalpy Change (ΔH) (e.g. -100 in kJ/mol), Entropy Change (ΔS) (e.g. 150 in J/(mol·K)), and Absolute Temperature (T) (e.g. 298.15 in K (25°C)). Verify your units match the formula standard (SI vs imperial) before entering values.
The Formula
Gibbs Free Energy Formula: ΔG = ΔH - ( T × [ΔS ÷ 1000] )
Where ΔH = Enthalpy (kJ/mol), ΔS = Entropy (J/[mol·K]), T = Kelvin (K)
Equilibrium Transition Temperature T_eq = ΔH ÷ (ΔS ÷ 1000)
Worked Example
Exothermic reaction with ΔH = -100 kJ/mol and ΔS = +150 J/(mol·K) at T = 298.15 K (25°C):
ΔS in kJ = 0.150 kJ/(mol·K).
ΔG = -100 - = -100 - 44.72 = -144.72 kJ/mol.
Understanding Your Result
Energy unit conversions: 1 kWh = 3,600,000 J (3.6 MJ), 1 kcal (food calorie) = 4,184 J, 1 BTU = 1,055 J. Power benchmarks: LED bulb 8–10 W, laptop 15–60 W, desktop PC 200–500 W, hair dryer 1,000–1,800 W, electric vehicle charger (Level 2) 7,200 W. A 100W device running 10 hours uses 1 kWh. At 15 cents/kWh (US average), that's 0.
- Energy efficiency is typically more cost-effective than energy generation — 1 unit of energy saved often costs 3–5× less than 1 unit generated.
