Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics is the science of initial and final states It allows to predict the spontaneous evolution of a system, knowing the thermodynamical values ΔG = Gfinal ‐ Ginitial = ΔH ‐ TΔS
ΔH: enthalpy of the reaction ΔS: entropy of the reaction
It is essential to consider very early the thermodynamic aspect to determine whether the reaction is feasible or not
