Natural systems tend toward states of minimum energy
Energy States
• Unstable: falling or rolling

Gibbs Free Energy
Gibbs free energy is a measure of chemical energy
Gibbs free energy for a phase:
G = H - TS
Where:
G = Gibbs Free Energy
H = Enthalpy (heat content)
T = Temperature in Kelvins
S = Entropy (can think of as randomness)
Thermodynamics
DG for a reaction of the type:
2A + 3B =C +4D
DG = S (n G)products - S(n G)reactants
= GC + 4GD - 2GA - 3GB
The side of the reaction with lower G will be more stable
Thermodynamics
For other temperatures and pressures we can use the equation:
(ignoring DX for now)
where V = volume and S = entropy (both molar)
dG = VdP - SdT
We can use this equation to calculate G for any phase at any T and P
by integrating

SdT
If V and S are constants, our equation reduces to:
GT2 P2 - GT1 P1 = V(P2 - P1) - S (T2 - T1)
Now consider a reaction, we can then use the equation:
dDG = DVdP - DSdT
(again ignoring DX)
DG for any reaction = 0 at equilibrium
Worked Problem #2 used:
dDG = DVdP - DSdT
and G, S, V values for albite, jadeite and quartz to
calculate the conditions for which DG of the reaction:
Ab + Jd = Q
is equal to 0

from G values for each phase at 298K and 0.1 MPa calculate DG298, 0.1 for the
reaction, do the same for DV and DS
DG at equilibrium = 0, so we can calculate an isobaric change in T that would
be required to bring DG298, 0.1 to 0
0 - DG298, 0.1 = -DS (Teq - 298)
(at constant P)
Similarly we could calculate an isothermal change
0 - DG298, 0.1 = -DV (Peq - 0.1)
(at constant T)

For solids it was fine to ignore V as f(P)
For gases this assumption is shitty
You can imagine how a gas compresses as P increases
How can we define the relationship between V and P for a gas?

P = pressure

Since

we can substitute RT/P for V (for a single mole of gas), thus:

And since

GP2 - GP1 = RT ln P2 - ln P1 = RT ln (P2/P1)
Thus the free energy of a gas phase at a specific P and T, when
referenced to a standard atate of 0.1 MPa becomes:
GP, T -
o
GT =
RT ln (P/Po)
G of a gas at some P and T = G in the reference state (same T and 0.1 MPa)
+ a pressure term
Gas Pressure-Volume Relationships
The form of this equation is very useful
o
GP, T - GT = RT ln (P/Po)
For a non-ideal gas (more geologically appropriate) the same
form is used, but we substitute fugacity ( f ) for P
where f = gP
g is the fugacity coefficient
Tables of fugacity coefficients for common gases are available
At low pressures most gases are ideal, but at high P they are not
Dehydration Reactions
• Mu + Q = Kspar + Sillimanite + H2O
• We can treat the solids and gases separately
GP, T - GT = DVsolids (P - 0.1) + RT ln (P/0.1) (isothermal)
• The treatment is then quite similar to solid-solid reactions, but
you have to solve for the equilibrium P by iteration

Solutions: T-X relationships
Ab = Jd + Q was calculated for pure phases
When solid solution results in impure phases
the activity of each phase is reduced
Use the same form as for gases (RT ln P or ln f)
Instead of fugacity, we use activity

Ideal solution: ai = Xi
n = # of sites in the phase on
which solution takes place
Non-ideal: ai = gi Xi

Back to our reaction:
Simplify for now by ignoring dP and dT
For a reaction such as:
aA + bB = cC + dD

where:
K=

Compositional variations
Effect of adding Ca to albite = jadeite + quartz
plagioclase = Al-rich Cpx + Q
DGT, P = DGoT, P + RTlnK
Let’s say DGoT, P was the value that we calculated for
equilibrium in the pure Na-system (= 0 at some P and T)
DGoT, P = DG298, 0.1 + DV (P - 0.1) - DS (T-298) = 0
By adding Ca we will shift the equilibrium by RTlnK
We could assume ideal solution and
K=
X
Pyx
Jd
X
Q
SiO 2
Plag
Ab
X
All coefficients = 1
Compositional variations
So now we have:
Pyx
X
Jd
o
DGT, P = DG T, P + RTln Plag
X Ab
since Q is pure
DGoT, P = 0 as calculated for the pure system at P and T
DGT, P is the shifted DG due to the Ca added (no longer 0)
Thus we could calculate a DV(P - Peq) that would bring
DGT, P back to 0, solving for the new Peq
Compositional variations
Effect of adding Ca to albite = jadeite + quartz
DGP, T = DGoP, T + RTlnK

Figure 27.10. P-T diagram showing the results of garnet-biotite geothermometry (steep lines) and GASP barometry (shallow lines) for sample
90A of Mt. Moosilauke (Table 27.4). Each curve represents a different calibration, calculated using the program THERMOBAROMETRY, by
Spear and Kohn (1999). The shaded area represents the bracketed estimate of the P-T conditions for the sample. The Al2SiO5 invariant point
also lies within the shaded area.
Geothermobarometry
TWQ and THERMOCALC accept mineral
composition data and calculate equilibrium
curves based on an internally consistent set of
calibrations and activity-composition mineral
solution models.
Rob Berman’s TWQ 2.32 program calculated
relevant equilibria relating the phases in sample
90A from Mt. Moosilauke.
TWQ also searches for and computes all
possible reactions involving the input phases, a
process called multi-equilibrium calculations
by Berman (1991).
Output from these programs yields a single
equilibrium curve for each reaction and should
produce a tighter bracket of P-T-X conditions.
Figure 27.11. P-T phase diagram calculated by TQW 2.02 (Berman, 1988, 1990, 1991) showing the internally consistent reactions between
garnet, muscovite, biotite, Al2SiO5 and plagioclase, when applied to the mineral compositions for sample 90A, Mt. Moosilauke, NH. The
garnet-biotite curve of Hodges and Spear (1982) Amer. Mineral., 67, 1118-1134 has been added.
Geothermobarometry
THERMOCALC (Holland and Powell) also based on an internally-consistent dataset
and produces similar results, which Powell and Holland (1994) call optimal
thermobarometry using the AvePT module.
THERMOCALC also considers activities of each end-member of the phases to be
variable within the uncertainty of each activity model, defining bands for each
reaction within that uncertainty (shaded blue).
Calculates an optimal P-T point within the correlated uncertainty of all relevant
reactions via least squares and estimates the overall activity model uncertainty.
The P and T uncertainties for the Grt-Bt and GASP equilibria are about  0.1 GPa and
75oC, respectively.
A third independent reaction involving the phases present was found (Figure 27.12b).
Notice how the uncertainty increases when the third reaction is included, due to the
effect of the larger uncertainty for this reaction on the correlated overall uncertainty.
The average P-T value is higher due to the third reaction, and may be considered
more reliable when based on all three.
Figure 27.12. Reactions for the garnet-biotite geothermometer and GASP geobarometer

(1985). A P-T uncertainty ellipse, and the “optimal” AvePT ( ) calculated from correlated
uncertainties using the approach of Powell and Holland (1994). b. Addition of a third
independent reaction generates three intersections (A, B, and C). The calculated AvePT lies
within the consistent band of overlap of individual reaction uncertainties (yet outside the ABC
triangle).
Geothermobarometry
Thermobarometry may best be practiced
using the pseudosection approach of
THERMOCALC (or Perple_X), in which a
particular whole-rock bulk composition is
defined and the mineral reactions delimit a
certain P-T range of equilibration for the
mineral assemblage present.
The peak metamorphic mineral assemblage:
garnet + muscovite + biotite + sillimanite +
quartz + plagioclase + H2O, is shaded (and
considerably smaller than the uncertainty
ellipse determined by the AvePT approach).
The calculated compositions of garnet,
biotite, and plagioclase within the shaded
area are also contoured (inset). They
compare favorably with the reported
mineral compositions of Habler and Thöni
(2001) and can further constrain the
equilibrium P and T.

Plattengneiss from the Austrian Eastern Alps. The large + is the calculated average PT (= 650oC and 0.65 GPa) using the mineral data of
Habler and Thöni (2001). Heavy curve through AvePT is the average P calculated from a series of temperatures (Powell and Holland, 1994).
The shaded ellipse is the AvePT error ellipse (R. Powell, personal communication). After Tenczer et al. (2006).

define a P-T-t path for the growing minerals showing near-isothermal decompression. After Spear (1993).
Geothermobarometry
P-T-t Paths
Recent advances in textural geochronology have allowed age
estimates for some points along a P-T-t path, finally placing
the “t” term in “P-T-t” on a similar quantitative basis as P and
T.
Foster et al. (2004) modeled temperature and pressure
evolution of two amphibolite facies metapelites from the
Canadian Cordillera and one from the Pakistan Himalaya.
Three to four stages of monazite growth were recognized
texturally in the samples, and dated on the basis of U-Pb
isotopes in Monazite analyzed by LA-ICPMS.
Used the P-T-t paths to constrain the timing of thrusting
(pressure increase) along the Monashee décollement in
Canada (it ceased about 58 Ma b.p.), followed by
exhumation beginning about 54 Ma.
Himalayan sample records periods of monazite formation
during garnet growth at 82 Ma, followed by later monazite
growth during uplift and garnet breakdown at 56 Ma, and a
melting event during subsequent decompression.
Such data combined with field recognition of structural
features can elucidate the metamorphic and tectonic history
of an area and also place constraints on kinematic and
thermal models of orogeny.
