Heat and Thermodynamics (e.g. enthalpy, entropy)
|
|
|
|
|
Chemical Thermodynamics (e.g. the free energy equation in a reaction, free energy and spontaneous reactions)
|
|
|
|
|
Identifying thermodynamic factors that determine whether a process (i.e. self-assembly) will occur spontaneously
|
|
|
|
|
The interplay between entropy and enthalpy is a direct consequence of the system trying to minimize its overall energy or reach equilibrium
|
|
|
|
|
Chemical equilibrium is a dynamic process at the molecular level
