Standard Gibbs energy variation

Thermodynamics is used to predict whether reactants have a spontaneous tendency to change into products. This tendency is associated with a decrease in the free energy or Gibbs energy of the system (G) to a minimum. As a consequence, the thermodynamic criterion for spontaneous change at constant temperature and pressure is AG < 0. Under standard conditions (concentrations = 1 M, and P = 1 atm), the standard Gibbs energy variation (AG°) is related with the equilibrium constant (A) by equation 11 ... 

Knowledge of these changes in standard Gibbs energy and enthalpy allows one to calculate the equilibrium composition and its variation with temperature.

We suppose variations of the standard Gibbs energy of the reaction as a function of the temperature to be known. Based on relation [4.13], we deduce the standard enthalpy associate, using the relation ... 

Fig. 8.21 Variation of log with -ArG for a series of compounds with the structures given in (2). Kinetic measurements were conducted in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran at 296 K. The distance between the donor (the reduced biphenyl group) and the acceptor is constant for all compounds in the series because the molecular linker remains the same. Each acceptor has a characteristic standard potential, so it follows that the standard Gibbs energy for the electron transfer process is different for each compound in the series. The line is a fit to a version of eqn 8.32 the maximum of the parabola occurs at -A G = A = 1.2 eV =...

Keeping in mind the relationship between the standard Gibbs energy and the equilibrium constant, it is very easy to modify the Langmuir isotherm, taking into account the variation of AG g with 0. To do this, we replace AGj g in Eq. (11.4) by AG0 and combine with Eq. (11.10), to obtain... 

The enthalpy of fomiation is obtained from enthalpies of combustion, usually made at 298.15 K while the standard entropy at 298.15 K is derived by integration of the heat capacity as a function of temperature from T = 0 K to 298.15 K according to equation (B 1.27.16). The Gibbs-FIehiiholtz relation gives the variation of the Gibbs energy with temperature... 

The most useful expression for describing the variation of standard Gibbs free energy changes with temperature is ... 

It should be kept in mind that the calculation of the equilibrium constant is subject to high sensitivity to small errors in thermochemical data due to its exponential dependency to the standard Gibbs free energy variation, as expressed by the relation ...
