i'm trying to relate the helmholtz and the gibbs free energy together. I thought that since the gibbs was just the W(other) and the helmholtz was the total work, that the following would be true.
F=G-PdV
because.. i thought that PdV was the work due to pressure, but it turns out that it's actually PdV+VdP which is just d(PV)
but i thought PdV was the only term that was the work due to pressure, how is VdP work due to pressure? V is constant!
