Reaction direction — Gibbs and the second law
chemistry
A reaction runs when Delta G = Delta H - T Delta S < 0 (sealed on the chemistry stick): the second law, deciding direction. Chemistry rests on the quantum for what is possible and on thermodynamics for what actually happens. Rests on thermodynamics.
