Isobaric Process finding G using (deltaG-deltaGo)

In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of standard free energy change and its relationship with temperature. The two delta G values represent the change in free energy at different temperatures, and the equation provided shows how temperature affects the standard free energy change. Additionally, it is mentioned that ΔS(37oC) ≈ ΔS(25oC) ≈ constant for biological processes at body temperature.

Can anyone help me with understanding what is going on at page 11 of these notes?

http://www.chem.utoronto.ca/coursenotes/CHM223/Section%205B%20Fall%202010.pdf

Do you get why there is 2 delta Gs? I am really confused with what he
was trying to do there?
ΔG(37oC) – ΔG(25oC) ≈ – (T – 298) (ΔS(25oC))

Thanks
For biological processes at body temperature (37oC = 98.6oF)
ΔS(37oC) ≈ ΔS(25oC) ≈ constant
And thus:
ΔG(37oC) – ΔG(25oC) ≈ – (T – 298) (ΔS(25oC))
(b) dG is an exact differential

For some specified chemical reaction, the standard free energy change ##Delta G^0## is a function of temperature ##\Delta G^0(T)##. We know that the effect of temperature on ##Delta G^0## is given by $$d{\Delta G^0}=\Delta S^0dT$$. If ##\Delta S^0## is nearly constant over the temperature range of interest (between 298 K and T), then we can integrate to get $$\Delta G^0(T)-\Delta G^0(298)=\Delta S^0(298)(T-298)$$
 

Related to Isobaric Process finding G using (deltaG-deltaGo)

1. What is an isobaric process?

An isobaric process is a thermodynamic process in which the pressure of the system remains constant while other parameters, such as temperature and volume, can change.

2. How is deltaG related to isobaric processes?

In an isobaric process, deltaG (change in Gibbs free energy) is equal to the difference between the change in enthalpy and the product of the change in entropy and the absolute temperature.

3. What is the significance of finding G in an isobaric process?

Finding G (Gibbs free energy) in an isobaric process allows us to determine the spontaneity of the process and the amount of work that can be extracted from it.

4. What is the difference between deltaG and deltaGo?

DeltaG (change in Gibbs free energy) refers to the change in free energy of a system under non-standard conditions, while deltaGo (change in standard Gibbs free energy) refers to the change in free energy under standard conditions.

5. How is the value of deltaG calculated in an isobaric process?

The value of deltaG in an isobaric process can be calculated using the equation deltaG = deltaH - T * deltaS, where deltaH is the change in enthalpy, deltaS is the change in entropy, and T is the absolute temperature.
