Document Summary

To an approximation, delta h and delta s reaction do not vary much with temperature (h and s change, but delta h and delta s almost stay constant) A reaction that releases gibbs free energy (negative delta g) is known as exergonic. This amount of energy is quite large (in fact, if it were released all at once, it would raise the temperature rapidly and kill most cells) In the body, cells typically have a ph of 7. Body temp and ph = delta g knot of the body.
