Free-energy change during a spontaneous reaction (combustion of gasoline)
What is the meaning of Gibbs free energy (free enthalpy) ? It is the maximum potential of a system (chemical reaction) which is free to do useful work This potential or capacity to do useful work is an idealization: it never can be recovered completely in any spontaneous process (chemical reaction) because some entropy is always created and a corresponding amount of free energy is used up to create „bound” heat, an energy that is unable to do useful work If there is no possibility at all for a spontaneous chemical reaction to do useful work, all energy changes occur in the form of heat (reaction heat, Ho) Devices suitable to exploit free energy: car engine, battery, muscle
Gibbs free energy (free enthalpy) is a state function: its molar value depends only on state properties. Standard Gibbs free energy of formation (Gof) is the quantity of free energy that is used up or liberated when 1 mol of a compound is produced from the stablest natural allotropic forms of its component elements under thermodynamic standard conditions (25 oC, 101.3 kPa). Since the absolute value of the Gibbs free energy content of a chemical system is not measurable, we use an arbitrary scale where the Gof value of the stablest natural allotrope of an element is regarded zero. G = G (products) – G (reactants) and Go = Gof (products) – Gof (reactants)
Standard Free Energies of Formation ( at 25 oC)
Calculation of the standard free enthalpy of formation: Gfo = Hfo – T• So , where Gfo = the standard free enthalpy of formation of the chemical compound studied Hfo = the standard enthalpy of formation of the chemical compound studied So = the change of standard entropies in the formation reaction of the chemical compound studied Because under standard conditions the T• So value is markedly less ( it is in the order of magnitude of joules) than the Hfo value (which is in the order of magnitude of kilojoules) the difference between the values of Gfo and Hfo is generally moderate.
Calculation of the standard free enthalpy of formation (Gfo) from the standard enthalpy of formation (Hfo) and the standard entropy change (So) of the „formation reaction”. An example. H2 + 1/2 O2 H2O So(J/K) Hfo (kJ/mol) Gfo (kJ/mol) H2 130.7 0 0 O2 205.1 0 0 H2O 69.9 –285.8 – 237.1 So = 69.9 – (130.7 + 102.5) = – 163.3 J/K – 163.3 J/K (: 1000 and •298) T• So = – 48.7 kJ/mol Gfo = Hfo – T • Soandafter substitution: Gfo = –285.8 – (– 48.7) = – 237.1 kJ/mol
Dependence of free enthalpy (Gibbs free energy) content on concentration: G = Gfo + RT ln c (J/mol), at 25 oC: G = Gfo + 8.3 • 298 • 2.3 • lg c (J/mol)) G = Gfo + 5.71 • lg c (kJ/mol) Free enthalpy change of reversible chemical reactions: A + B C + D G = G (products) – G (reactants) G = GC + GD – (GA + GB) G = [Gfo(C) + 5.71 • log cC ] + [Gfo(D) + 5.71 • log cD ] – [Gfo(A) + 5.71 • log cA ] – [Gfo(B) + 5.71 • log cB] G = Go + 5.71 • (log cC + log cD – log cA – log cB ) G = Go + 5.71 log (cC • cD) / (cA • cB) G = Go + 5.71 • log Q, if cA, cB, cC, cD values are1 M each: G = Go , and because in equilibrium: G = 0 Go = – 5.71 • log Ke (kJ/mol)
A + B C + D Go = – 5.71• log Ke (kJ/mol) Ke 1, Go 0 : the reaction is exergonic if it starts from 1 M concentrations of A,B, C and D Ke 1, Go 0 : the reaction is endergonic when it starts from 1 M concentrations of A, B, C and D Ke = 1, Go = 0 : the reaction is in equilibrium at 1 M concentrations of A, B, C and D
Free enthalpy change of redox reactions: G = – n • F • E and at standard conditions: Go = – n • F • Eo (kJ/mol, ifR = 96.5)

Various ways for the determination of free energy changes of chemical reactions: 1. Go = Gfo (products) – Gfo (reactants) kJ/mol G = G (products) – G (reactants) 2. Go = Ho – T • So kJ/mol G = H – T • S 3. G = Go + 5.71 • log Q kJ/mol Go = – 5.71 • log Ke 4. Go = – n • F • Eo kJ/mol, if F = 96.5 kilocoulomb G = – n • F • E
