= Gibbs free energy
{wiki=Gibbs_free_energy}
Gibbs free energy, often denoted as \\( G \\), is a thermodynamic potential that measures the maximum reversible work obtainable from a system at constant temperature and pressure. It is a crucial concept in chemistry and thermodynamics as it helps determine the spontaneity of processes and the equilibrium position of reactions. The Gibbs free energy is defined by the following equation: \\\[ G = H - TS \\\] where: - \\( G \\) is the Gibbs free energy.
