Free energy formulae relating

Since the linear and related expansion formulas depend on fits to regions of the curve that are statistically less and less reliable, it makes sense to find a measure for extrapolation that depends on the relative accuracy of the relative free energy estimate for all points along the curve. The cumulative integral extrapolation method is one approach to this idea. 

The differential molar entropies can be plotted as a function of the coverage. Adsorption is always exothermic and takes place with a decrease in both free energy (AG < 0) and entropy (AS < 0). With respect to the adsorbate, the gas-solid interaction results in a decrease in entropy of the system. The cooperative orientation of surface-adsorbate bonds provides a further entropy decrease. The integral molar entropy of adsorption 5 and the differential molar entropy are related by the formula = d(n S )ldn for the particular adsorbed amount n. The quantity can be calculated from... 

Using Stirling s formula, the definition of the Helmholtz free energy F = -kT In and standard thermodynamic relations, several useful formulae may be deduced from the expression for Zn in Equation 12. The chemical potential (/x) is given by... 

The U level relative to the Fermi level for the metal (and hence to the U level related to it by Eqs. (1) and (2)) can be determined from w — the metal-to-solution electronic work function. It should be noted that the work functions comprise variations in internal energy. For going from these to free energies, a correction has to be made for the entropy of delocalized electrons (in a gas or liquid), determined by the formula for the entropy of ideal gas... 

In an NPT (constant mass, pressure and temperature) ensemble of clay-water systems the Gibbs free energy, G, is related to the partition function, Q, by the formula ... 

Silica exists in a broad variety of forms, in spite of its simple chemical formula. This diversity is particularly true for divided silicas, each form of which is characterized by a particular structure (crystalline or amorphous) and specific physicochemical surface properties. The variety results in a broad set of applications, such as chromatography, dehydration, polymer reinforcement, gelification of liquids, thermal isolation, liquid-crystal posting, fluidification of powders, and catalysts. The properties of these materials can of course be expected to be related to their surface chemistry and hence to their surface free energy and energetic homogeneity as well. This chapter examines the evolution of these different characteristics as a function not only of the nature of the silica (i.e., amorphous or crystalline), but also as a function of its mode of synthesis their evolution upon modification of the surface chemistry of the solids by chemical or heat treatment is also followed. 

By minimizing the free energy of a system containing Ny total number of molecules or formula units of nucleating phase per unit volume, it can be shown (see App. 9A) that the metastable equilibrium concentration (per unit volume) of nuclei is related to AG, by... 

The limit in Eq. (12-14) exists if /i,/vj is the partial free energy of M( grams of electrolyte i, where A// is the solution molecular weight of the electrolyte in the solvent under consideration. If /i,- is the partial free energy of A/( grams of electrolyte i, where Mi is an arbitrary formula weight, it is evident that v, is determined by the relation... 

The formulas involving thermodynamic properties, however, are somewhat different because the formula for calculating a thermodynamic quantity differs from that for calculating an ensemble-averaged quantity. For example, the first-order sensitivity coefficient relating the Helmholtz free energy A of a biomolecular system to a potential parameter is expressed in the form... 

According to the Boltzmann principle, we obtain then entropy proportional to L/X. Transforming this to the function of end-to-end distance R (which is geometrically related to A in the same way as R was related to for freely jointed chain, i.e., R L LD /2X, or given formula (7.38), R L LX/t ), we arrive at the free energy... 

Similarly to the expressions found by Singer and Chandler [80] for the RISM/HNC equations, the KH approximation (4.f3) allows one to obtain the free energy functions in a closed analytical form avoiding the necessity of numerical coupHng parameter integration. The derivation is analogous for both RISM and 3D-RISM/KH equations [28], and is shown here in the context of the 3D approach. The excess part of the solvation chemical potential, in excess over the ideal translational term, can be related to the 3D site correlation functions by the Kirkwood s charging formula... 

At high concentrations most polymer solutions assume gel-like behaviour. (Compare chapter on gels, p. 494). The osmotic pressure of a gel is usually called swelling pressure, although from a physical point of view these quantities are identical they both represent the pressure difference between solution and solvent separated by a semipermeable membrane when equilibrium is reached. In particular, the vapour pressure p and the swelling pressure of a gel are related to the free energy of dilution accordii to the usual formula... 

Therefore, the part of free energy related to hard sphere repulsion is expressed in terms of density of particles p =N V that on account of Stirling formula is given by... 

It can be seen from these relations that the reversible potential is dependent on temperature and pressure since the Gibbs free energy is a function of temperature and the activity coefficients are dependent on temperature, pressme for gases and ionic strengths for ionic electrolytes. The Nemst equation (1.7) is used to derive a formula for calculating the reversible cell potential as follows Anode electrode potential ... 

We know this to be the case within a certain temperature, oxygen partial pressure domain (21). Consequently oxygen partial pressure measurement can be done using the above formula in the same domain. This is illustrated in fig. 7 where standard free energies of formation of some oxides are plotted in a familiar way as a function of temperature. There is also on this diagram a logarithmic scale allowing to plot RT log Pq and thus to determine equilibrium partial pressure for oxides at various temperatures from the relation ...
