Gibbs Free Energy and Maximum Nonexpansion Work

[Jillian Labador 3E]

Hello! I've been seeing Gibbs Free Energy being defined as the maximum non-expansion work and the maximum work done in a reversible process. Is there a difference between the two or are they closely related?

[Aimee Alvarado 3J]

From what I've read from the textbook, I believe it explains that electrical work is a type of non-expansion because it moves electrons without changing the volume. I also believe they are closely related, but correct me if I'm wrong.

I think the above post is correct. I think I read the same thing in the textbook, that non-expansion applies because of the lack of volume change with the electron transfer.

I believe that they are closely related. I also think that for the scope of this class, we won't have to have a very deep understanding of this.

If there is an expansion into a vaccum, what happens to work?

What are the other types of nonexpansion work? What falls under this clarification? Is it just anything that doesn't change the volume?
