9: Gibbs Free Energy
In this chapter, we will concentrate on chemical processes that happen at constant \(T\) and constant \(P\). 1 As such, we will focus our attention on the Gibbs free energy.
- The majority of chemical reactions in a lab happens at those conditions, and all biological functions happen at those conditions as well.

- 9.4: Composition Dependence of ΔG
- The third and final coefficient gives the chemical potential as the dependence of G on the chemical composition at constant T and P. Similarly to the previous cases, we can take the definition of the coefficient and integrate it directly between the initial and final stages of a reaction.
