This thermodynamic potential is related to the Helmholtz free energy ( logarithm of the canonical partition function ), F \,, in the following way:
32.
Like the internal energy, the enthalpy stated as a function of its natural variables is a thermodynamic potential and contains all thermodynamic information about a body.
33.
Lewis early papers also reveal an unusually advanced awareness of J . W . Gibbs s and P . Duhem s ideas of free energy and thermodynamic potential.
34.
In addition, there are other thermodynamic potentials besides the four that are commonly used, and each of these potentials will yield a set of Maxwell relations.
35.
For a simple system in which the particle numbers are constant, the second derivatives of the thermodynamic potentials can all be expressed in terms of only three material properties
36.
In thermodynamics, the "'Helmholtz free energy "'is a thermodynamic potential that measures the useful closed thermodynamic system at a constant temperature and volume.
37.
For an " electrolytic " cell this is the ratio of a cell's thermodynamic potential divided by the cell's experimental potential converted to a percentile.
38.
For a " galvanic " cell it is the ratio of a cell's experimental potential divided by the cell's thermodynamic potential converted to a percentile.
39.
The Gibbs energy ( also referred to as " G " ) is also the thermodynamic potential that is minimized when a system reaches chemical equilibrium at constant pressure and temperature.
40.
It is commonly used in classical mechanics to derive the Lagrangian formalism and in thermodynamics to derive the thermodynamic potentials, as well as in the solution of differential equations of several variables.
