AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation and its application in thermodynamics and chemistry. Participants explore the relationship between Gibbs free energy (ΔG), enthalpy (ΔH), and entropy (ΔS), particularly focusing on the formula involving the derivative of ΔG with respect to temperature. It is suggested that ΔH can be derived from a plot of ΔG/T against 1/T, emphasizing the importance of understanding these thermodynamic concepts. The conversation highlights the need for clarity in these relationships, indicating a potential confusion around the derivation and implications of the formulas. Overall, the thread seeks to clarify how to solve for ΔH using the provided equations.

Can somebody please shed a little light on what this formula represents in the physical world?
And how could I solve it to get \Delta H?

<br /> \left[\frac{d\left(\frac{\Delta G}{T}\right)}{\delta T}\right]_p = \frac{\Delta H}{T^2}<br />

humm ..looks like entropia. Or may be I'm completely wrong.
 
So, you are saying that
<br /> \left[\frac{d\left(\frac{\Delta G}{T}\right)}{\delta T}\right]_p = \Delta S<br />
?

no i wrote that, but I'm not saying that :-).
Anyway should be something about Gibbs-Helmholtz equation, but i don't remeber much about it.
So something about chemistry and termodinamics application usually.

<br /> <br /> \left[\frac{\partial \Delta G}{\partial T}\right]_p = -\Delta S<br /> <br />

But wait a reply from someone that know of what is talking about because I'm not sure.
 
Gibbs Helmholtz
Note d(1/T)/dT is 1/T2. Solve for H. Cancel terms.
So Enthalpy can be obtained from plot of deltaG/T vs 1/T
 
I need to calculate the amount of water condensed from a DX cooling coil per hour given the size of the expansion coil (the total condensing surface area), the incoming air temperature, the amount of air flow from the fan, the BTU capacity of the compressor and the incoming air humidity. There are lots of condenser calculators around but they all need the air flow and incoming and outgoing humidity and then give a total volume of condensed water but I need more than that. The size of the...
I was watching a Khan Academy video on entropy called: Reconciling thermodynamic and state definitions of entropy. So in the video it says: Let's say I have a container. And in that container, I have gas particles and they're bouncing around like gas particles tend to do, creating some pressure on the container of a certain volume. And let's say I have n particles. Now, each of these particles could be in x different states. Now, if each of them can be in x different states, how many total...
Thread 'Why work is PdV and not (P+dP)dV in an isothermal process?'
Let's say we have a cylinder of volume V1 with a frictionless movable piston and some gas trapped inside with pressure P1 and temperature T1. On top of the piston lay some small pebbles that add weight and essentially create the pressure P1. Also the system is inside a reservoir of water that keeps its temperature constant at T1. The system is in equilibrium at V1, P1, T1. Now let's say i put another very small pebble on top of the piston (0,00001kg) and after some seconds the system...
