What are the most common mistakes students make in Chemical Thermodynamics?
spontaneity is decided by ΔG, not ΔH — entropy and temperature matter too.
Top mistakes to avoid in Chemical Thermodynamics: • spontaneity is decided by ΔG, not ΔH — entropy and temperature matter too. • getting the sign of ΔH the wrong way round. • thinking entropy always increases for the system alone. • judging spontaneity from ΔH alone. • thinking ΔH depends on the reaction path.
