Question

According to fundamental thermodynamic definitions and exact Maxwell relations, which of the following partial derivative equations correctly describes the behavior of the Gibbs Free Energy ($G$)?

Answer: A

💡 Solution & Explanation

The fundamental equation for Gibbs Free Energy is $dG = VdP - SdT$. Holding pressure constant ($dP = 0$), we get the partial derivative $(\partial G/\partial T)_P = -S$. This physically explains why $G$ always decreases as temperature increases (since entropy is positive).
