AI Thread Summary
Gibbs free energy (ΔG) and Gibbs free energy under standard conditions (ΔG°) are not the same, even if both are calculated at the same temperature of 298K. ΔG is the free energy change for a specific reaction under any conditions, while ΔG° is the free energy change when reactants and products are in their standard states, which includes standard pressure and specific concentrations. Therefore, to accurately compare the two values, one must consider both pressure and concentration in addition to temperature.

Gibbs free energy and Gibbs Free energy under standard conditions;
Hi. Is a value of Gibbs free energy (delta G) and Gibbs free energy Under standard conditions (delta G knot) the same if they are both calculated under the same temperature (298K)? cheers

You need to take into account standard pressure as well.
 
Not to forget concentrations.
 
It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
