MCQs on Free Energy and Work Function

The energy freely available from the system at a particular set of conditions which can be put into useful work is called free energy. Out of the total energy associated with the system (H) a part of it is random energy which is non-convertible into work. Free energy is a state function and extensive property. In most of the thermodynamic process, neither the energy nor the entropy is held constant. It becomes therefore essential to introduce two new functions involving energy and entropy. Helmholtz free energy contains elastic and surface energy. The effect of normal stress is about three orders of magnitude larger than the effect of elastic energy. Gibbs free energy allows us to determine the amount of chemical energy that a particular reaction can store or release.
