How is Gibbs Free Energy Calculated in Catalytic Reactions?
The change in Gibbs Free Energy (ΔG) for a reaction is calculated using the equation: ΔG = ΔH - TΔS where ΔH is the change in enthalpy, T is the temperature in Kelvin, and ΔS is the change in entropy. For catalytic reactions, these values are the same as for non-catalyzed reactions because the catalyst does not affect the thermodynamic quantities of the reactants and products.
