Definition:

\[\left.G\right.=A+pV\]

where p is the pressure, V is the volume, and A is the Helmholtz energy function, i.e.

\[\left.G\right.=U-TS+pV\]

Taking the total derivative

\[\left.dG\right.=dU-TdS-SdT+pdV+Vdp\]

From the Second law of thermodynamics one obtains

\[\left.dG\right.=TdS -pdV-TdS-SdT+pdV+Vdp\]

thus one arrives at

\[\left.dG\right.=-SdT+Vdp\]

For G(T,p) we have the following total differential

\[dG=\left(\frac{\partial G}{\partial T}\right)_p dT + \left(\frac{\partial G}{\partial p}\right)_T dp\]
