Is delta G the amount of energy free to do work(ie max work) only at standard G or any G? or is it when temp and pressure are constant?

In this we find At by subtracting 0.068 from Ao. but if B was a reactant and it was increasing would we add it instead of subtracting?

Re: Open System

to change internal energy you can add or subtract matter to or from the system, do work on it or make it do work and add heat or subtract heat from it.
since it is specifically asking how to increase internal energy it can be done by adding heat to it, adding matter and doing work on it.
