What is the difference between deltaGstan and deltaGnon?

DeltaG standard is at standard conditions, DeltaGnon is all other times. 

Both represent energy free to do work in a reaction

What is the difference between electrolytic and galvanic cells?


Galvanic cells derives its energy from spontaneous redox reactions, while electrolytic cells involve non-spontaneous reactions and thus require an external electron source like a DC battery or an AC power source.
