The relation is generally expressed as a microscopic change in internal energy in terms of microscopic changes in entropy, and volume for a closed system in thermal equilibrium in the following way. d U = T d S − P d V {\displaystyle \mathrm {d} U=T\,\mathrm {d} S-P\,\mathrm {d} V\,}
The differential form of Helmholtz free energy is = = (), = From symmetry of second derivatives = and therefore that = The other two Maxwell relations can be derived from differential form of enthalpy = + and the differential form of Gibbs free energy = in a similar way.
Each linear fit has a different slope and intercept, which indicates different changes in enthalpy and entropy for each distinct mechanisms. The Van 't Hoff plot can be used to find the enthalpy and entropy change for each mechanism and the favored mechanism under different temperatures.
The enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs energy of activation are more correctly written as Δ ‡ H o, Δ ‡ S o and Δ ‡ G o respectively, where the o indicates a quantity evaluated between standard states. [11] [12] However, some authors omit the o in order to simplify the notation. [13] [14]
Enthalpy (/ ˈ ɛ n θ əl p i / ⓘ) is the sum of a thermodynamic system's internal energy and the product of its pressure and volume. [1] It is a state function in thermodynamics used in many measurements in chemical, biological, and physical systems at a constant external pressure, which is conveniently provided by the large ambient atmosphere.

In thermodynamics, the thermodynamic free energy is one of the state functions of a thermodynamic system (the others being internal energy, enthalpy, entropy, etc.).The change in the free energy is the maximum amount of work that the system can perform in a process at constant temperature, and its sign indicates whether the process is thermodynamically favorable or forbidden.
Many thermodynamic equations are expressed in terms of partial derivatives. For example, the expression for the heat capacity at constant pressure is: = which is the partial derivative of the enthalpy with respect to temperature while holding pressure constant.
