Free energy, definition temperature coefficient

As equation 2.4.8 indicates, the equilibrium constant for a reaction is determined by the temperature and the standard Gibbs free energy change (AG°) for the process. The latter quantity in turn depends on temperature, the definitions of the standard states of the various components, and the stoichiometric coefficients of these species. Consequently, in assigning a numerical value to an equilibrium constant, one must be careful to specify the three parameters mentioned above in order to give meaning to this value. Once one has thus specified the point of reference, this value may be used to calculate the equilibrium composition of the mixture in the manner described in Sections 2.6 to 2.9. 

In the definitions of T, two variables in addition to the ion chemical potential must also be specified as constant. In an equilibrium dialysis experiment, these are temperature and the chemical potential of water. This partial derivative is known as the Donnan coefficient. (Note that the hydrostatic pressure is higher in the RNA-containing solution.) In making connections between T and the Gibbs free energy, it is more convenient if temperature... 

Interpreting the Henry s Law coefficient can be confusing because of the number of different units used in the literature. In this text it is presented in units of moles per Idlogram so that the effect of pressure on volume in the ocean is normalized. Other units that are often used are molar (mol 1 ) and volume fraction at standard temperature (0°C) and pressure (latm) (ml 1 , STP). Be carefiil STP for gases and standard conditions for free energies are not the same The pressure terms are identical, but the temperatures are 0 and 25 °C, respectively. This is one of the casualties of an old science that evolved from many different laboratories. Since the volume of a mole of ideal gas at STP is exactly 22.4141, there is a direct relation between moles of gas and milliliters (STP) of gas. Another potential confusion is that the Henry s Law relation is sometimes referred to as the reciprocal of the value given here, e.g. 1 /Kh. We can only say that the bulk of marine literature follows the definition used in Eq. (3.51), and one should make careful note of the units when using this constant. 

The integration constant g , the so-called chemical standard potential, is the partial molar free energy at a pressure P = 1 bar, temperature T and at an activity of unity. In an ideal mixture the activity coefficient is unity, so that the aforementioned definition holds for both real and ideal mixtures. 

The temperature of the fluid t F far away from the wall, appears in (1.23), the definition of the local heat transfer coefficient. If a fluid flows around a body, so called external flow, the temperature t F is taken to be that of the fluid so far away from the surface of the body that it is hardly influenced by heat transfer, i) F is called the free flow temperature, and is often written as diDC. However, when a fluid flows in a channel, (internal flow), e.g. in a heated tube, the fluid temperature at each point in a cross-section of the channel will be influenced by the heat transfer from the wall. The temperature profile for this case is shown in Figure 1.8. i) F is defined here as a cross sectional average temperature in such a way that t F is also a characteristic temperature for energy transport in the fluid along the channel axis. This definition of F links the heat flow from the wall characterised by a and the energy transported by the flowing fluid.
