Relationship between free energy, enthalpy, entropy?
1 Answer
Yes, the typical relation we use is the one at constant temperature for chemical reactions at standard state (
#DeltaG_(rxn)^@ = DeltaH_(rxn)^@ - TDeltaS_(rxn)^@#
And this comes from the Maxwell Relations for the Gibbs' free energy and enthalpy in a thermodynamically-closed system (closed to mass transfer but not energy transfer), in terms of differentials:
#dG = -SdT + VdP#
#dH = TdS + VdP# where
#G# is Gibbs' free energy,#S# is entropy,#H# is enthalpy,#T# is temperature,#V# is volume, and#P# is pressure.
We can see that
#dG = -SdT + dH - TdS#
#~~ dH - SdT - TdS - overbrace(dSdT)^"small"#
#=> color(blue)(dG = dH - d(TS))# and integration from state 1 to 2 would give:
#color(blue)(DeltaG) = DeltaH - Delta(TS)#
#= color(blue)(DeltaH - TDeltaS - SDeltaT - DeltaSDeltaT)# where we have used similar steps to what is shown here.
As mentioned, the one we usually use is at constant temperature, so
