Introduction

Gibbs free energy $(∆ G)$ is the amount of free energy available to a system to do useful work.

Gibbs free energy of a system is given by the expression;

$∆ G = ∆ H - T ∆ S; w h e r e ∆ H i s t h e c h a n g e i n e n t h a l p y ∆ S i s t h e c h a n g e i n e n t r o p y a n d T i s t e m p e r a t u r e i n k e l v i n$

As you can see in the equation, the $(∆ G)$ is affected by temperature 'T 'but it isn't that straight forward on how the temperature affects it. So lets take a deeper look.
