Interactive Demo
Gibbs Spontaneity Explorer
Gibbs Spontaneity Explorer is a free, interactive learning demo from the Chemistry 2e course on Lykke. It helps you build intuition for Entropy, Gibbs Free Energy, Redox Reactions, Galvanic Cells. Play with it directly in your browser — it features 4 sliders and a live visual canvas. This demo lives in the “Thermodynamics and Electrochemistry” section of the course.
How to use this demo
- Drag the sliders to change the inputs and watch the visualization update in real time.
- Experiment freely — there's nothing to break, and every change is reversible.
What you'll explore
- Entropy
- Gibbs Free Energy
- Redox Reactions
- Galvanic Cells
Frequently asked questions
What does the Gibbs Spontaneity Explorer demo do?
Advanced topics covering the spontaneity of reactions through entropy and Gibbs free energy, and the conversion between chemical and electrical energy. Gibbs Spontaneity Explorer turns that idea into something you can manipulate directly and watch respond.
What Chemistry 2e concept does Gibbs Spontaneity Explorer teach?
Advanced topics covering the spontaneity of reactions through entropy and Gibbs free energy, and the conversion between chemical and electrical energy. It focuses on Entropy, Gibbs Free Energy, Redox Reactions, Galvanic Cells from the “Thermodynamics and Electrochemistry” section.
What can I control in Gibbs Spontaneity Explorer?
The sliders change the key inputs. Every change updates the visualization in real time, so you can see exactly how each variable affects the outcome.
How does Gibbs Spontaneity Explorer fit into the Chemistry 2e course?
OpenStax Chemistry 2e is a comprehensive, peer-reviewed Open Educational Resource (OER) designed for two-semester general chemistry courses. The course provides a rigorous foundation in chemical principles, ranging from… This demo is the interactive piece for the “Thermodynamics and Electrochemistry” section.
