  • Gibbs Free Energy
    A thermodynamic quantity representing the amount of energy available to do work at constant temperature and pressure.
  • Standard Cell Potential
    The voltage difference between two half-cells in an electrochemical cell under standard conditions.
  • Equilibrium Constant
    A dimensionless number that expresses the ratio of product concentrations to reactant concentrations at equilibrium.
  • Faraday's Constant
    A physical constant representing the charge of one mole of electrons, approximately 96,485 C/mol.
  • Gas Constant
    A constant used in equations of state, equal to 8.314 J/mol K, relating energy scale to temperature scale.
  • Redox Reaction
