Gibbs free energy function, enthalpy

Thus, values for C°p m T, S°m T, (H°m T - H°m 0) and (G°mT H°m0) can be obtained as a function of temperature and tabulated. Figure 4.16 summarizes values for these four quantities as a function of temperature for glucose, obtained from the low-temperature heat capacity data described earlier. Note that the enthalpy and Gibbs free energy functions are graphed as (// , T - H°m 0)/T and (G T — H q)/T. This allows all four functions to be plotted on the same scale. Figure 4.16 demonstrates the almost linear nature of the (G°m T H°m 0)/T function. This linearity allows one to easily interpolate between tabulated values of this function to obtain the value at the temperature of choice. 

Table 4.3 summarizes values taken from the JANAF tables for the Gibbs free energy functions and standard enthalpies of formation for a few common substances. The JANAF tables provide a more complete tabulation. 

Application to Macromolecular Interactions. Chun describes how one can analyze the thermodynamics of a particular biological system as well as the thermal transition taking place. Briefly, it is necessary to extrapolate thermodynamic parameters over a broad temperature range. Enthalpy, entropy, and heat capacity terms are evaluated as partial derivatives of the Gibbs free energy function defined by Helmholtz-Kelvin s expression, assuming that the heat capacities integral is a continuous function. 

At equilibrium, the extensive properties U, S, V, Nh and the linear combination of them are functions of state. Such combinations are the Helmholtz free energy, the Gibbs free energy, and enthalpy, and are called the thermodynamic potentials. Table 1.13 provides a summary of the thermodynamic potentials and their differential changes. The thermodynamic potentials are extensive properties, while the ordinary potentials are the derivative of the thermodynamic potentials and intensive properties. 

For the third law evaluations of the reaction enthalpies from mass spectrometric equilibrium measurements the Gibbs free energy functions of the reactants are needed. Likewise the enthalpy functions are needed in order to correct the second law reaction enthalpies obtained at the average temperature of measurement to the desired reference temperature. These thermal functions can be calculated according to standard statistical... 

The chemical potential provides the fundamental criteria for determining phase equilibria. Like many thermodynamic functions, there is no absolute value for chemical potential. The Gibbs free energy function is related to both the enthalpy and entropy for which there is no absolute value. Moreover, there are some other undesirable properties of the chemical potential that make it less than suitable for practical calculations of phase equilibria. Thus, G.N. Lewis introduced the concept of fugacity, which can be related to the chemical potential and has a relationship closer to real world intensive properties. With Lewis s definition, there still remains the problem of absolute value for the function. Thus,... 

The equations developed for the partial molar volume and enthalpy can be generalized to all state variables, but given the importance of the Gibbs free energy function, it will be convenient to have some of these equations in their free energy form here. 

In the case of fast chemical reactions, as at high temperatures or accelerated by catalysts, the hypothesis of chemical equilibrium can give a realistic idea about the maximum achievable performance. Deviations in temperature or conversion with respect to the true equilibrium may be specified. Single-phase chemical equilibrium, or simultaneous chemical and multi-phase equilibrium may be treated. Great attention should be paid to the accuracy of computing Gibbs free energy functions and enthalpy. Two models are usually available ...

Thermodynamics is an extensive and far-reaching scientific discipline that deals with the interconversion of heat and other forms of energy. Thermodynamics enables us to use information gained from experiments on a system to draw conclusions about other aspects of the same system without further experimentation. For example, we saw in Chapter 6 that it is possible to calculate the enthalpy of reaction from the standard enthalpies of formation of the reactant and product molecules. This chapter introduces the second law of thermodynamics and the Gibbs free-energy function. It also discusses the relationship between Gibbs free energy and chemical equihbrium. 

The values in the following table for the molar heat capacity C°, entropy S°, Gibbs free energy function (G°-H298)/T, in caTmor K and for the enthalpy H°-H298 kcal/mol are taken from the JANAF Tables [1], where they were calculated in intervals of 100 K up to T = 6000K for the ideal gas at latm on the basis of estimated rotational and vibrational constants (see pp. 71/3) and of a electronic ground state ... 

Thermodynamic functions for the ideal gas (molar heat capacity C°, entropy S°, Gibbs free energy function (G°- H298)/T, all in cal- mol K" enthalpy H - HIge in kcal/mol) were calculated from the molecular constants between T = 0 and 6000 K at 100 K intervals [3]. Some values are given on the following page. 

Such figures are subject to an uncertainty of at least 0.01, since the theory does not exactly correspond with reality and so different properties of the binary mixture lead to slightly different values of 5. The properties most commonly used to estimate C are the second virial coefficient and as functions of x, and the excess Gibbs free energy and enthalpy. There is now abundant evidence that is usually significantly less than unity, particularly in mixtures of chemically different type. The use of values determined from binary mixtures leads to more accurate predictions for multi-component mixtures than the universal use of equation (19). 

What is defined by free energy can be seen in the Gibbs free energy function, which consists of two terms, enthalpy (H) and entropy (S). 

The relations which permit us to express equilibria utilize the Gibbs free energy, to which we will give the symbol G and which will be called simply free energy for the rest of this chapter. This thermodynamic quantity is expressed as a function of enthalpy and entropy. This is not to be confused with the Helmholtz free energy which we will note sF (L" j (j, > )...

Other thermodynamical functions, such as the enthalpy H, the entropy S and Gibbs free energy G, may be constructed from these relations. 

Other thermodynamic functions described above in that the change in free energy AG is determined solely by the initial and final states of the system. The maximum work, or maximum available energy, defined in terms of the Gibbs free energy G, which is now called the free enthalpy, is... 

Fig. 16. A. Plot of log iNa as a function of T 1 (°K) using the experimental values of the rate constants and the location of the binding sites in Eq. 4. The Gibbs free energy of activation is calculated from Eq. 3 the AS are taken to be zero, and the current is calculated by means of Eq. 4. The purpose is to demonstrate that multibarrier channel transport can be seen as single rate process with average values for the enthalpies of activation. Non-linearity of such a plot is then taken to arise form the dynamic nature of the channel.

Table A4.6 gives the internal rotation contributions to the heat capacity, enthalpy and Gibbs free energy as a function of the rotational barrier V. It is convenient to tabulate the contributions in terms of VjRTagainst 1/rf, where f is the partition function for free rotation [see equation (10.141)]. For details of the calculation, see Section 10.7c.
