Computed by taking the enthalpy minus the product of temperature and entropy, for 10 points, name this quantity which less than zero in a spontaneous reaction.
Merle Randall dedicated 25 years to the measure of this quantity in various substances with Gilbert Lewis. A standard-form Köhler equation can be obtained by setting its partial derivative to zero, and at standard temperature and pressure, it is equal to the chemical potential. An analogue of it named for Helmholtz is used for explosives, and it evolved from the medieval concept of "affinity."
