1. Entropy and Free Energy Changes

3. What is Free Energy?
Energy that is released as a result of chemical reactions
It is all around us
This is the energy that is needed to do work for systems

4. Spontaneous Reactions
Reactions that favor the formation of products
Occur naturally with no outside help
Release free energy
Could be fast or slow, the only fact is that they will happen at the given conditions at some point

5. Nonspontaneous Reactions
Do not favor the formation of products at the given conditions
Do not contribute to the free energy of the surroundings
Can become spontaneous if we change the conditions and make adjustments

6. What is entropy? Measurement of the disorder of a system
All systems in nature are heading towards a state of disorder
ENTROPY CANNOT BE STOPPED!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH!!
Systems want to head to a place of higher entropy but lower energy.
