This lecture covers the concept of thermodynamic potentials, including the fundamental relations such as Gibbs relation, Euler relation, and Gibbs-Duhem relation. It also discusses Legendre transformations, Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, equilibrium of coupled subsystems, and Maxwell's relations. The instructor explains the approach to equilibrium, the minimization of free energy, and the minimization of enthalpy in different systems.
