Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thermodynamics deals with the flow and interchange of heat, energy, and matter, allows the determination of whether a reaction is spontaneous, considers heat flow and entropy production, and considers the effect of concentration on net free energy change of a reaction. However, thermodynamics does not provide information on the rate of a reaction, which is the subject of chemical kinetics.
