H and S as function of T at constant P
In a closed one-component system equilibrium, at temperature T and pressure P, corresponds to the state with minimum Gibbs free energy G.Therefore, in order to predict what phases are stable under different
conditions we have to examine the dependence of G on T and P.Let’s use thermodynamic relations to predict the temperaturedependence of H, S, and G at constant P.

G as function of T at constant P for liquid and solid phases
At all temperatures the liquid has a higher internal energy U andenthalpy H as compared to the solid. Therefore G l > G s at low T.
The liquid phase, however, has a higher entropy S than the solid phase atall T. Therefore G l decreases more rapidly with T as compared to G s.
At T m G l(T) crosses G s(T) and both liquid and solid phases can co-existin equilibrium (G l = G s)

G as function of P at constant T for liquid and solid phases
As we can see from the fundamental equation, dG = VdP – SdT, the freeenergy of a phase increases with pressure:

Equilibrium between two phases: Clapeyron equation
If two phases in equilibrium have different molar volumes, their freeenergies will increase by different amounts when pressure changes at afixed T. The equilibrium, therefore will be disturbed by the change in
pressure. The only way to maintain equilibrium at different pressures isto change temperature as well.
For two phases in equilibrium G l = G s and dG l = dG s for infinitesimalchange in T and P (so that the system remains in equilibrium)

The driving force for the phase transformation
If solid and liquid are in equilibrium, G s = G l and a slow addition of heatleads to the melting of some part of the solid, but do not change the totalG of the system:
G = n l G l + n s Gs = const, where n l and n s are the numbers of moles ofliquid and solid phases, and G l and G s are the molar Gibbs free energies.
If energy is added/removed quickly , the system can be brought out ofequilibrium (overheated or undercooled) – the melting/freezing processis spontaneous/irreversible and G is decreasing.
