Why Gibbs free energy matters

Why Gibbs free energy matters

Exothermic reactions are not automatically the only feasible ones, and endothermic reactions are not automatically impossible. Gibbs free energy brings together enthalpy and entropy so you can predict thermodynamic feasibility at constant temperature and pressure. The key relationship is:
