In the canonical ensemble, we control the variables T, p, and N, and the fundamental function is the Gibbs free energy (G). But if we control T, p, and μ, then we will have a different fundamental function, Z (This is the case for cells that often regulate their temperature, pressure, and chemical potentials to maintain equilibrium). Which of the below options should the Z function equal?
H - TS - μN
H + TS + μN
H + TS - μN
G + μN
F - pV - μN
-H + TS + μN
Assuming that the potential corresponding to any temperature T in Table could be known (say, through a computer model) to at least fi ve signifi cant digits, what maximum uncertainty would be allowed in your voltmeter if you were to use an iron-constantan thermocouple to measure temperatures to within 0.01°C?
