Maximum work

[Samantha Joseph 1F]

When temperature or pressure aren't constant, what is the relationship between maximum work and change in free energy?

[Anika_Patel_1G]

When temperature and pressure are not constant, I do not believe there is relationship between maximum work and the change in free energy. I know that when temperature and pressure are constant, the maximum work is equal to the change in free energy because all of the energy free and available is used to do maximum work in the system.

In lecture, Dr. Lavelle mentioned "Maximum work done by a process at constant Temperature & Pressure; also dG for a spontaneous process represents the energy that is free to do useful work."
