(a)
Interpretation:
The energy
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.
(b)
Interpretation:
The energy
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.

- Calculate the vibrational, rotational, and translational contributions to the constant volume heat capacity (Cv) for 14N2 at 298 K. Assume this represents the high temperature limit for rotational energy and low temperature limit for vibrational energy. Given that Cv=20.81 J/K·mol for N2, state which type or types of energy contribute most to Cv for N2 and explain why those types of energy contribute most.arrow_forwardChemistry The first excited electronic energy level of the helium atom is 3.13 ✕ 10−18 J above the ground level.
