[Catalist] Equilibrium and temperature

[Andy Gray]

Hi Andrew - although outside of the ATAR course,
http://www.chem1.com/acad/webtext/thermeq/TE5.html is pretty good at
explaining the relationship between changes in Gibbs free energy and K.
Also, https://aatishb.com/entropy/ uses sheep to explain entropy and it's
AWESOME!

Enjoy the weekend :)
