Abstract

As part of their education, students in physical chemistry have been taught the importance and the usefulness of the Gibbs function. It comes as a surprise to occasionally discover that even those who teach this venerable subject sometimes disagree, not merely in matters of style or organization of the subject, or in matters of mathematical elegance, but in matters of real substance. The following four papers are examples of this.
