Enthalpy vs Entropy (ΔG)

Explore the relationship between enthalpy (ΔH), entropy (ΔS), and Gibbs free energy (ΔG) using the equation ΔG = ΔH - TΔS. Understand how temperature affects spontaneity: exothermic reactions with increasing entropy are always spontaneous, while endothermic reactions with decreasing entropy are never spontaneous. Visualize how ΔG < 0 indicates spontaneous processes, ΔG = 0 represents equilibrium, and ΔG > 0 means non-spontaneous reactions.

Galvanic Cell Constructor

Construct custom voltaic circuits using Zn, Cu, and Ag half-cells. The simulator utilizes real Standard Reduction Potentials and applies the Nernst Equation to calculate cell potential dynamically across varying molarities.

AP CHEMISTRY

Bomb Calorimetry Simulator

Simulate a constant-volume bomb calorimeter to compute the molar heat of combustion (ΔH_comb). Ignite different organic samples and dynamically measure the highly precise temperature rise to calculate the heat absorbed by the system.
