 | | For a phase, the Gibbs free energy is a function of P, T, and composition. |
 | | 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. |
 | | The intensive Gibbs free energy of a phase is also, in general, a function of composition. |
