Chapter 17, Problem 17.31E
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The energy A or G having the higher absolute value is to be predicted on the basis of statistical thermodynamic definitions.

Concept introduction:

Gibbs free energy gives the value of the maximum reversible amount of work done by system at a condition of constant temperature and pressure. It is a state function.

Helmholtz energy gives the value of the maximum amount of work done by system at a condition of constant volume. It is a state function.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The energy E or G having the higher absolute value is to predicted on the basis of statistical thermodynamic definitions and the reason for the same is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Internal energy is defined as the total energy contained in a system. Its absolute value cannot be measured directly. It is a state function.

Gibbs free energy gives the value of the maximum reversible amount of work done by system at a condition of constant temperature and pressure. It is a state function.
