Problem :

State the definitions of H , G , and F . You have to memorize them!


Problem :

A given system is to be expanded at constant temperature and constant number of particles. We might say it undergoes an "isothermal expansion". Find the energy that most simply describes how the energy changes in this process, and write the simplified differential.


Problem :

Explain a process in which the enthalpy remains constant.
