... and volume we say that the quantity is a function of state. Therefore, for an ideal gas in equilibrium, the system’s temperature is a function of state ( θ = F ( P,V ) ). A quantity, dG, is said to be an exact differential if it only depends on the difference in the function of state between two clo ...

... HoT - Ho298 is the enthalpy at the standard state T less the enthalpy at the standard state at 298.15 K. (GoT - Ho298)/T is the Gibbs energy function and is equal to (HoT - Ho298)/T - SoT. This function is tabulated because it shows greater linearity than GoT thus facilitating interpolation between ...

THE FIRST LAW of THERMODYNAMICS: Conservation of energy
... The Second Law and Cyclic Processes The Second Law deals with the maximum amount, or fraction of, heat that can be converted to “work”. For any thermodynamic system there is a theoretical limit to the conversion factor between heat & work. To study this process further – consider the CARNOT CYCLE ( ...
