BIO101: Introduction to Molecular and Cellular Biology

Watch this video for a discussion of the Gibbs Law of Free Energy. After you have read this section, you should be able to write and define each component (G, H, S, T) of the equation for free-energy change, distinguish between exergonic and endergonic reactions in terms of free energy change, predict which reactions are spontaneous, and explain why organisms do not violate the second law of thermodynamics.
