And it's always going to come down to calculating the appropriate free energy, and how it changes in the process.
这总是涉及到计算,适当的自由能,以及这些自由能在过程中如何变化。
In other words, now I know how to tell how the Helmholtz free energy changes as a function of temperature.
换句话说,我现在知道如何写出亥姆赫兹,自由能作为温度的函数。
But we see if we have a free electron, as we do in this dotted line here, that's going to be a higher energy that's less stable.
但是我们看到如果,我们有一个自由电子,就像虚线所示那样,那将会是一个较高的,不够稳定的能量。
And so the energy is zero because the electron is no longer bound. It is free.
所以这个系统能量为0,因为,电子不再受束缚了,它自由了。
Whereas under these conditions, these quantities, if you look at free energy change, for example at constant temperature and pressure, H you can still calculate H.
但是,在这些条件下,这些物理量,如果我们考察自由能的变化,例如在恒定的温度和压强下,我们仍然可以计算。
The Gibbs free energy. Notice, we could also write, let's rewrite that.
吉布斯自由能,注意,我们还可以这样写,重写一下。
And so that led us to the definitions of other energy quantities, the Helmholtz and Gibbs free energy.
这就要求我们定义,其他的和能量相似的物理量,亥姆赫兹和吉布斯自由能。
So I can in a very straightforward way say, OK, well, here is my Helmholtz free energy.
所以我可以很直接的说,这就是我的亥姆赫兹自由能。
So again with the Gibbs free energy, now I see how to determine, if I change the pressure, if I change the temperature by some modest amount, how much is the Gibbs free energy going to change?
再一次通过吉布斯自由能,我知道当我,适当的改变压强和,温度的时候,吉布斯自由能如何变化?
What that's going to allow us to do is, if we say, OK I have a mixture of stuff, how does the free energy change?
我们能够说的是,如果我们有一份混合物,自由能怎么变化?
Where the Gibbs free energy, TS u plus pV minus TS is H minus TS.
吉布斯自由能等于,内能u加上pV减去TS,也是自由焓H减去。
And that's why the Gibbs free energy is just so enormously important.
吉布斯自由能G在平衡态取得最小值,吉布斯自由能是最重要的。
It is a free electron so there is no potential energy to be accounted for.
对于自由电子,因此没有什么势能。
So, if we want to go from that stable state to that less stable state, we need to put in a certain amount of energy to our system, that difference between the free electron and the electron bound to the metal.
所以,如果我们想使电子,从稳态到达不够稳定的状态,我们需要引入一定数量的,能量到系统中,即自由电子和束缚于金属的,电子的能量差。
It's the state that has the lowest Gibbs free energy.
它具有最小的吉布斯自由能。
In some sense, that's one reason to associate this as a kind of energy, H just like mechanical energy u or enthalpy H, it's the minimum free energy state that is the equilibrium state under the relevant conditions.
在某种意义下,这是我们把这些物理量称为能量的原因,就像机械能U和自由焓,具有最小自由能的状态在特定的条件下,就是平衡态。
So, if, for example, we were looking at a hydrogen atom in the case where we have the n equals 1 state, so the electron is in that ground state, the ionization energy, it makes sense, is going to be the difference between the ground state and the energy it takes to be a free electron.
电离氢原子所需要的能量,如果我们看n等于1的情况,电子在基态,那电离能,很合理的就是基态,和自由电子态的能量差。
