Here is the answer to your first question: In thermodynamics, the Gibbs free energy is a thermodynamic potential that can be used to calculate the maximum of reversible work that may be performed by a thermodynamic system at a constant temperature and pressure. The Gibbs free energy (
Δ
G
=
Δ
H

T
Δ
S
{\displaystyle \Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S}, measured in joules in SI) is the maximum amount of non-expansion work that can be extracted from a thermodynamically closed system (can exchange heat and work with its surroundings, but not matter). This maximum can be attained only in a completely reversible process. When a system transforms reversibly from an initial state to a final state, the decrease in Gibbs free energy equals the work done by the system to its surroundings, minus the work of the pressure forces.[1]

Answer:

1. b. The usable energy released or absorbed by a reaction

2. d. The change in enthalpy between products and reactants in a reaction

3. a. The products becoming more spread out

4. b. It tells if the reaction will proceed spontaneously or not.

5. d. An exothermic reaction that increases in entropy

Explanation:

1. The definition is the answer (you should try to memorize it)

2. ΔH is change in enthalpy (ΔS is change in entropy)

3. Entropy is the measure of randomess. The more spread out the products are, the higher the entropy.

4. If ΔG was positive, it would be nonspontaneous, if ΔG was negative, it's spontaneous.

5. ΔH is change in enthalpy, and exothermic is releasing heat so ΔH is nugative. ΔS is change in entropy and if entropy is increasing, ΔS is positive. Thus, ΔG  is always negative in this case.
