Answer:

The statement is true

Step-by-step explanation:

The Gibbs free energy is defined as:

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

Where ΔH : Change in the enthalpy

T : The temperature

ΔS : Change in the entropy

And the Gibbs free energy is a thermodynamic potential that can be used to calculate the maximum of reversible work that may be performed by a thermodynamic system at a constant temperature and pressure.

If the thermodynamic process is isothermal and isobaric, then the statement is true.
