Gibbs–Helmholtz equation

 Gibbs–Helmholtz equation 

The Gibbs–Helmholtz equation is a thermodynamic equation used for calculating changes in the Gibbs free energy of a system as a function of temperature. It was originally presented in an 1882 paper entitled Die Thermodynamik chemischer Vorgange by Hermann von Helmholtz. It describes how the Gibbs free energy, which was presented originally by Josiah Willard Gibbs, varies with temperature. It is typically applicable to chemical reactions of the body.

The equation is-


(∂ΔG/∂T)P = - ΔH/T2

Where H is the enthalpy, T the absolute temperature and G the Gibbs free energy of the system, all at constant pressure p.
