The **spontaneity** of a reaction is its tendency to continue without extra energy input after its initial activation energy.
Gibb's free energy or **standard free energy** ($\Delta G$/$\Delta G^\theta$, $\pu{kJ}$ or $\pu{kJ/mol}$) is a measure of the sponetaneity of a chemical change. Spontaneous reactions must have a negative $\Delta G$, while those that are positive will require more energy to continue.

When working with values involving $K_c$, if the initial concentration of a chemical is much bigger than $K_c$ ($[A]/K_c > 500$), it is possible to assume that it will not change at all.
This assumption is valid if the impact of the calculated shift is less than 5%.
!!! example
If the equilibrium concenration is equal to $0.250-2y$, and the initial concentration is very big, assume that the equilibrium concentration is $0.250$, removing the $-2y$ from the equation.
As long as $2y$ is less than 5% of 0.250, the assumption is valid.
!!! info
In this course, when working with $K_c$ and ICE tables, only three things should be possible when solving for concentrations: you can get a perfect square, you can use the quadratic equation, or you can use the approximation rule.
### Le Chatelier's principle
Le Chatelier's principle states that: If there is a change in a system at equilibrium, the position of equilibrium will readjust to minimise the effect of the change.

!!! warning
If given a system not at equilibrium, if a change is made that would change the prior equilibrium, it should be assumed that the system reaches equilibrium before the change is made, regardless if it is specified.
### Gibbs free energy 2
The value of Gibbs free energy changes as the reaction progresses, similar to enthalpy. At equilibrium, $\Delta G=0$, so a reaction is a result of a system attempting to minimise Gibbs free energy.
**Standard Gibbs free energy** represents the Gibbs free energy of a chemical at standard state (1 mol/L for solutions, 100 kPa partial pressure for gases).
$$\Delta G^\circ = \sum n\Delta G^\circ_\text{f products} - \sum n\Delta G^\circ_\text{f reactants}$$
A negative $\Delta G^\circ$ indicates that the reaction will shift right to reach equilibrium as $\Delta G^\circ$ always decreases in **magnitude** as the reaction proceeds. It also means that the forward reaction is **spontaneous** while the backwards is not.
### Reaction quotient
The reaction quotient ($Q$) is a tool to compare the current state of a system to its equilibrium state.
$$Q=\frac{\Pi[\text{products currently}]^p}{\Pi[\text{reactants currently}]^r}$$
At equilibrium, $Q=K_c$ as they are the same equation, so the equilibrium will shift in whatever direction that would bring $Q$ closer to $K_c$
!!! example
If $Q > K_c$, there are more products than reactants than at equilibrium, so the reaction will shift to make more **reactants**.
### Dynamic equilibrium
When $\Delta G$ is at a minimum, both sides of the reaction are equally spontaneous. Realistically, $\Delta G$ never reaches zero because entropy. TODO: wtf

Where $\Delta G$ is the Gibbs free energy at a given point of the reaction, $R$ is the gas constant, $T$ is the current temperature, and $Q$ is the reactant quotient:
$$\Delta G = \Delta G^\circ + RT\ln Q$$
Therefore, at equilibrium:
$\Delta G = -RT\ln K_c$
