Gibbs energy via enthalpy¶

Gibbs energy is a thermodynamic potential that can be used to calculate the maximum amount of work that may be performed by a thermodynamically closed system at constant temperature and pressure. It provides a necessary condition for processes such as chemical reactions that may occur under these conditions.
