state property

[Marni Kahn 1A]

Is Gibbs Free Energy a state property, and if so why?

[McKenna_4A]

Yes. The path required to get to a value doesn't matter with G, so it is a state property. This is why you can perform a Hess's Law-type problem with an equation given G values.

[Brooke Yasuda 2J]

Gibbs is a state property because all of its components, enthalpy, temperature, and entropy, are also state properties.

[Pablo 1K]

Because Gibbs is made up of other state properties, it too is a state property.

[Anish Natarajan 4G]

The Gibbs free energy of a reaction is not dependent on the path the reaction takes but rather, the net change between the internal energy of the products vs the internal energy of a reactant, making it a state function
