Gibbs free energy (G)
The thermodynamic potential for a system whose independent variables are the absolute temperature, applied pressure, mass variables, and other independent, extensive variables. The change in Gibbs free energy, as a system passes reversibly from one state to another at constant temperature and pressure, is a measure of the work available in that change of state.
