The week ahead
Welcome to the 5th week of the course. This week, we focus our attention to the free energy functions.
With free energies, we can determine the reversibility of the process only with the system properties. We will be looking at two important free energies, the Helmholtz free energy and the Gibbs free energy. Then we are going to be talking about the physical meaning of free energies to see why they are called the ‘free energy’.
