Khan Academy: Chemistry: A Look at an Incorrect Gibbs/spontaneity Proof

Curated by ACT

A video lecture exploring how a derivation of the Gibb's free energy equation shown in some textbooks makes an incorrect assumption. The proof defines entropy as an irreversible transfer of heat which is incorrect and causes the basis for the proof to be wrong. Students may want to view Khan's correct video lecture on the derivation to gain more understanding. [6:40]
