Change in Gibbs free energy (given change in enthalpy, temperature and change in entropy)
Formula
DeltaG
change in Gibbs free energy
DeltaH
change in enthalpy
T
absolute temperature
DeltaS
change in entropy
Formula description
In thermodynamics, the Gibbs free energy (also known as free enthalpy to distinguish it from Helmholtz free energy) is a thermodynamic potential that measures the `useful` or process-initiating work obtainable from a thermodynamic system at a constant temperature and pressure (isothermal, isobaric).
