A thermodynamic quantity equivalent to the capacity of a system to do work.
See also Gibbs free energy
Example sentencesExamples
- Therefore, a thermodynamic analysis of denaturation free energy change can be used.
- Thus the calculated electrostatic free energy corresponds to the work required to push the test ion into the channel.
- The notable decrease in free energy from trimer to tetramer suggested that the aggregation process was cooperative.
- The thesis was on thermodynamic potential in physics and chemistry and in it he defined the criterion for chemical reactions in terms of free energy.
- The origin of the cell voltage is then the difference in free energy between Li + ions in the crystal structures of the two electrode materials.
