Gibbs free energy (F) is defined as__________________?

Correct answer: B. F = H - TS

  • A. F = E - TS
  • B. F = H - TS
  • C. F = H + TS
  • D. F = E + TS

Explanation

Gibbs free energy is defined as G = H - TS, where H is enthalpy, T is absolute temperature, and S is entropy. The expression F = E - TS instead defines Helmholtz free energy, so the symbol F in the question is a notation error.
