Gibbs Free Energy (ΔG = ΔH − TΔS) & Equilibrium Constant (K_eq) Calculator: inputs, method, and how to read the result
Determine reaction spontaneity (ΔG° < 0) and log₁₀(K_eq) at any Kelvin temperature.
Choose inputs for the case you are checking
The defaults are illustrative. Replace them with values for your case and keep the units shown beside each field.
- Enthalpy Kj Mol: Standard enthalpy change ΔH° in kJ/mol.
- Entropy Jmol K: Standard entropy change ΔS° in J/(mol·K).
- Temperature Kelvin: Reaction temperature in Kelvin (298.15 K = 25°C).
What the calculation includes
With the default values shown, Gibbs Free Energy Change (ΔG°) is -12.2 kJ/mol. The calculation follows Gibbs Free Energy & K_eq Reference Equation; the formula and variable definitions above show how the inputs combine.
One-input check: With the other defaults held constant, changing Enthalpy Kj Mol from -45 kJ/mol to -40 kJ/mol changes Gibbs Free Energy Change (ΔG°) from -12.2 kJ/mol to -7.2 kJ/mol. This is a comparison inside the calculator's stated model, not a prediction.
Where to use caution
- Uses standard IUPAC atomic weights, 25°C (298.15 K) reference thermodynamics, and published clinical literature equations.
- Educational and laboratory reference tool only; clinical scoring calculators do not replace professional medical judgment or institutional protocols.
Scope: IUPAC / NIH Laboratory & Clinical Reference Standard Check the assumptions and limitations against your situation before relying on the estimate.
