FFor an exothermic reaction, the slope for the Gibbs-Helmboltz equation given in Eq. (10) is negative, as illustrated
in Figure 2.

‘From Figure 2, we see that a the temperature increases (from right to left along the x-axis) the Gibbs free energy
Chante also increases (as long as the Final and inital temperatures are not too different from one another); thats,

‘Note in this case that if the Gibbs free energy change ut the initial temperature is negative (indicating a spontaneous
process), then increasing the temperature increases the Gibbs free energy change (in olher words, the value becomes
less negative).
Example Gibbs-Helmholtz Calculation
Determine the standard molar Gibbs free energy change at 500 K for the reaction,
2H (eg) + O2(8) + 2H.0(8 - 03)
‘The standard molar Gibbs free energy change at 500 K may be estimated from the available values at 298 K using

Here, it has been assumed that the standard molar enthalpy of resetion is constant and the value at 298 K (available
in tables) has been used. Solving for the unknown standard molar Gibbs free energy change at 500 K,, we have

In order to complete the determination of the Gibbs free energy change at 500K, the values of the Gibbs free energy
‘and the enthalpy of reaction at 298 K are required. These values may be obtained from the tables in the appendix.
