Ch. 9 K&K: Gibbs Free Energy and Chemical Reactions Recall (ch. 8): Free energy conditions . Helmholtz F isothermal Enthalpy H constant pressure Gibbs G const. pressure and temp Recall (ch. 3) pg. 68: “The Helmoltz free energy will be a minimum for a system S in thermal contact with a reservoir R if the volume of the system is constant.”
Gibbs free energy Chemical reactions (and other experiments) are often carried out at constant pressure and constant temperature: (Gibbs free energy; Thermodynamic potential) G(U,t,s,P,V) = U – ts + PV
Gibbs free energy Chemical reactions (and other experiments) are often carried out at constant pressure and constant temperature: (Gibbs free energy; Thermodynamic potential) G(U,t,s,P,V) = U – ts + PV dG = dU – tds – sdt + PdV + VdP
Gibbs free energy Chemical reactions (and other experiments) are often carried out at constant pressure and constant temperature: (Gibbs free energy; Thermodynamic potential) G(U,t,s,P,V) = U – ts + PV dG = dU – tds – sdt + PdV + VdP Isothermal dt = 0 Isobaric dP = 0 So, for a system S at equilibrium: dGS = dUS – tdsS + PdVS
dG = 0 at equilibrium dGS = dUS – tdsS + PdVS Comparing to eqn. 5.39 (dUS = tdsS – PdVS + mdNS) shows dGS = mdNS = 0, since dNS = 0 at equilibrium
