Topic 10: biological forms of energy and reducing power p. 84-100, 103, 107-115. Gibbs free energy indicates the amount of energy that is avaliable for work in a system. Reactants have a certain amount and so do the products. G determines whether or not a reaction is energetically favourable or unfavourable. The forward reaction is more energetically favourable, or spontaneous. Net conversion of reactants to products without energy input. Note: there will still be some reverse reaction just not as much as the forward https://uwoca-my. sharepoint. com/personal/akalluma_uwo_ca/_layouts/15/wopiframe. aspx?sourcedoc={5e62ed6a-49ad-486b-a23a-ea4b3ec5cbfc}& This does not need to be at a fast rate. It will happen on its own but can possibly take a long time. If all molecules begin at equal concentrations, there will be a net conversion of reactants to products without the addition of energy. Any reaction will proceed to a point where they reach equilibrium and at this point the rate of forward and backwards reactions are equal so nothing happens.
