**Transcription:** (a) Show that the change of the Helmholtz free energy, \( F \), corresponds to the work done when \( T \) and \(\{n_k\}\) are kept constants. Thus, justifying the name "free energy" (the energy available for doing work). (b) In an isothermal expansion of a gas from a volume \( V_i \) to a volume \( V_f \), what is the change in the Helmholtz free energy? **Explanation:** This text provides prompts for exercises related to the concept of Helmholtz free energy in thermodynamics. Part (a) asks you to demonstrate mathematically how the change in Helmholtz free energy can be equated to work done when the temperature \( T \) and the number of particles \(\{n_k\}\) are constant. This relates to the work that can be extracted from a system when it experiences a process at constant temperature. Part (b) is an inquiry into the changes in Helmholtz free energy during an isothermal (constant temperature) expansion of a gas, specifically from an initial volume \( V_i \) to a final volume \( V_f \). This involves understanding how the free energy changes due to volume change under isothermal conditions, highlighting its practical applications in calculating work.
