    The main objectives of the chapter:

    1.      Define and understand the thermodynamic functions : Helmholtz free energy and Gibbs free energy

    2.      Interpret the sign of ΔG as a criterion for spontaneity and equilibrium

    3.      Calculate ΔG°R for chemical reactions

    4.      Define chemical equilibrium and introduce the mass action laws

    5.      Understand and apply the Van’t Hoff equation to study the temperature dependence of equilibrium constants

    6.      State and apply Le Chatelier’s principle to predict shifts in equilibrium due to changes in:Temperature, Total pressure, Partial pressure/concentration, Addition of inert gases
