Chemical thermodynamics is the study of how heat and work relate to each other in chemical reactions and physical changes of state. It also involves a set of rules and laws that explain which processes can happen spontaneously and which need some help.
The primary goal of chemical thermodynamics is to determine the feasibility of a given transformation. It is used to predict energy exchanges in the following processes: Chemical reactions Phase changes Formation of solutions
The state functions that are most important in chemical thermodynamics are: Internal energy (U) Enthalpy (H) Entropy (S) Gibbs free energy (G)
