Essential Formulas & Mathematical Definitions

ΔU = q + w (w = -Pext ΔV)
ΔH = ΔU + Δng RT
ΔG = ΔH - T ΔS
ΔG° = -2.303 RT log K

First Law & Work in Reversible Expansion

Reversible isothermal expansion work: w = -2.303 nRT log(V₂/V₁). Since ΔT = 0, internal energy change ΔU = 0.

Gibbs Free Energy & Spontaneity

Reactions are spontaneous when ΔG < 0. Exothermic reactions (ΔH < 0) with entropy increase (ΔS > 0) are spontaneous at all temperatures.

High-Yield Exam Strategy & Scoring Tips

Step-by-Step Mark Allocation

Always state the governing principle or formula first, write given values with standard SI units, substitute clearly, and highlight the final numerical answer with units in a box for full step marking.

Common Calculation Traps

Watch for unit prefixes (cm to m, minutes to seconds, g to kg, degrees to radians). In coordinate and ray optics problems, double-check Cartesian sign conventions before computing.

Frequently Asked Exam Questions & Concept Clarifications

Can an endothermic reaction (ΔH > 0) be spontaneous?

Yes, provided entropy increase (ΔS > 0) is large enough and temperature T is high such that TΔS > ΔH, making ΔG < 0.
