Gibbs-Helmholtz equation
Gibbs-Helmholtz equation[′gibz ′helm‚hōlts i‚kwā·zhən] (physical chemistry) An expression for the influence of temperature upon the equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction, (d ln K °/ dT) P = Δ H °/ RT 2, where K ° is the equilibrium constant, Δ H ° the standard heat of the reaction at the absolute temperature T, and R the gas constant. (thermodynamics) Either of two thermodynamic relations that are useful in calculating the internal energy U or enthalpy H of a system; they may be written U = F-T (∂ F /∂ T) V and H = G-T (∂ G /∂ T) P, where F is the free energy, G is the Gibbs free energy, T is the absolute temperature, V is the volume, and P is the pressure. Any of the similar equations for changes in thermodynamic potentials during an isothermal process. Gibbs-Helmholtz equation
Gibbs-Helm·holtz e·qua·tion (gibz helm'hōltz), 1. an equation expressing the relationship in a galvanic cell between the chemical energy transformed and the maximal electromotive force obtainable. 2. ΔG = ΔH = T[∂ΔG/∂T]P, where ΔG is the change in Gibbs free energy, ΔH is the change in enthalpy, T is the absolute temperature, and P is the pressure. Gibbs, J. Willard, U.S. mathematician and physicist, 1839-1903. Gibbs energy of activation - energy that must be added to that already possessed by a molecule(s) in order to initiate a reaction.Gibbs free energyGibbs theorem - substances that lower the surface tension of the pure dispersion medium tend to collect in its surface, whereas substances that raise the surface tension tend to remain out of the surface film.Gibbs-Donnan equilibrium - Synonym(s): Donnan equilibriumGibbs-Helmholtz equation - an equation expressing the relationship in a galvanic cell between the chemical energy transformed and the maximal electromotive force obtainable.
