  Gibbs Free Energy
The balance between the contributions from the enthalpy and entropy terms to the free energy of a reaction depends on the temperature at which the reaction is run.
As might be expected, the standard-state free energy of formation of a substance is the difference between the free energy of the substance and the free energies of its elements in their thermodynamically most stable states at 1 atm, all measurements being made under standard-state conditions.
The contribution to the free energy of the reaction from the enthalpy term is therefore constant, but the contribution from the entropy term becomes smaller as the temperature is lowered.

 Free energy (disambiguation) Summary
The standard free energy of formation of a pure substance is defined as the free energy change when one mole of the substance is formed from its constituent elements in their standard states.
Free energy may be categorised as renewable energy, although most renewable energy sources would not normally be called free energy sources or sources of perpetual motion.
Free energy is energy which may be directly utilized (and returned) by a device from the surroundings (electromagnetic free energy is sometimes referred to as radiant energy).

 Intute sciences - >Chemical Sciences: Thermodynamics: Gibbs Free Energy
Useful energy, or energy available to do work, is of central interest because there is never a shortage of useful work to be done, and usually an insufficiency of useful energy to do it.
Free energy is called Gibbs free energy and given the symbol G in honor of Josiah Willard Gibbs, a professor of chemistry at Yale University who almost singlehandedly developed both the concept and the quantitative equations which describe it.
Free energy is a state function because it is formally defined only in terms of state functions, the state functions enthalpy and entropy, and the state variable temperature.

 Gibb's Free Energy
The Gibbs free energy derives from the second law of thermodynamics, as a special case where the temperature and pressure are constant, but that is all I will say about the second law in this, the "short answer".
The Gibbs free energy difference is a thermodynamic function (thermodynamic function = a function that depends only on the initial and final state of some process, and not the path by which one goes from the initial to the final state.).
The Gibbs free energy difference is defined in terms of two other thermodynamic properties, the enthalpy change denoted "dH" and the entropy change "dS".

Like all energies in thermodynamics, G is expressed not in absolute terms but relative to a standard state, usually the energy difference relative to the elements at 1 bar and 298.15 K. If the enthalpy of formation and third law entropy are measured, then we get G from G = H - TS.

We will use the same trick later in the chapter to talk about the standard Gibbs energy (or enthalpy or entropy) for reactions in which an electron is transferred from one species to another, since this always involves the formation or consumption of two ions.
A molar Gibbs free energy is the amount of free energy it takes to convert one mole of a substance from one form or state to another.
The other part of the proportionality comes from the fact that the Gibbs free energy is based on the amount of the chemical being oxidized or reduced while the voltage is based on the number of electrons that flow during the oxidation/reduction reaction.
