The chemical potential is the partial molar Gibbs free energy. Partial molar quantities figure importantly in the theory of solutions and are defined at constant temperature and pressure thus, the Gibbs free energy is a natural state function for their derivation. As an example, the partial molar volume is found from the Maxwell relation... 

The chemical potential is an example of a partial molar quantity /ij is the partial molar Gibbs free energy with respect to component i. Other partial molar quantities exist and share the following features ... 

We divide by Avogadro s number to convert the partial molar Gibbs free energy to a molecular quantity, and the minus sign enters because the force and the gradient are in opposing directions. Recalling the definition of chemical potential [Eq. (8.13)], we write jUj + RT In aj = ii2 + RT In 7jC, where aj... 

When M = the requited derivatives are given by equations 62 and 63. Moreover, the derivative on the left side of equation 64 defines the partial molar Gibbs energy, G. Therefore,...

P rtl IMol r Properties. The properties of individual components in a mixture or solution play an important role in solution thermodynamics. These properties, which represent molar derivatives of such extensive quantities as Gibbs free energy and entropy, are called partial molar properties. For example, in a Hquid mixture of ethanol and water, the partial molar volume of ethanol and the partial molar volume of water have values that are, in general, quite different from the volumes of pure ethanol and pure water at the same temperature and pressure (21). If the mixture is an ideal solution, the partial molar volume of a component in solution is the same as the molar volume of the pure material at the same temperature and pressure. 

Partial Molar Gibbs Energy Implicit in Eq. (4-16) is the relation... 

In view of Eq. (4-47), the chemical potential and the partial molar Gibbs energy are therefore identical ... 

The energy of a system can be changed by means of thermal energy or work energy, but a further possibility is to add or subtract moles of various substances to or from the system. The free energy of a pure substance depends upon its chemical nature, its quantity (AG is an extensive property), its state (solid, liquid or gas), and temperature and pressure. Gibbs called the partial molar free heat content (free energy) of the component of a system its chemical potential... 

The partial molar entropy of a component may be measured from the temperature dependence of the activity at constant composition the partial molar enthalpy is then determined as a difference between the partial molar Gibbs free energy and the product of temperature and partial molar entropy. As a consequence, entropy and enthalpy data derived from equilibrium measurements generally have much larger errors than do the data for the free energy. Calorimetric techniques should be used whenever possible to measure the enthalpy of solution. Such techniques are relatively easy for liquid metallic solutions, but decidedly difficult for solid solutions. The most accurate data on solid metallic solutions have been obtained by the indirect method of measuring the heats of dissolution of both the alloy and the mechanical mixture of the components into a liquid metal solvent.05... 

Thermodynamics gives limited information on each of the three coefficients which appear on the right-hand side of Eq. (1). The first term can be related to the partial molar enthalpy and the second to the partial molar volume the third term cannot be expressed in terms of any fundamental thermodynamic property, but it can be conveniently related to the excess Gibbs energy which, in turn, can be described by a solution model. For a complete description of phase behavior we must say something about each of these three coefficients for each component, in every phase. In high-pressure work, it is important to give particular attention to the second coefficient, which tells us how phase behavior is affected by pressure. 

Therefore, if we have information on the partial molar volumes and the excess Gibbs energy of the ternary system, we can use Eqs. (119)—(122) to find the ends of the tie lines which comprise the coexistence curve. 

Hence, for a pure substance, the chemical potential is a measure of its molar Gibbs free energy. We next want to describe the chemical potential for a component in a mixture, but to do so, we first need to define and describe a quantity known as a partial molar property. 

Before leaving our discussion of partial molar properties, we want to emphasize that only the partial molar Gibbs free energy is equal to n,-. The chemical potential can be written as (cM/<9 ,)rv or (dH/dnj)s p H partial molar quantities for fi, into equations such as those given above. 

When the adsorbed components are electrically charged, then the partial molar Gibbs energy of the charged component depends on the charge of the given phase, and thus the chemical potentials in the above relationships must be replaced by the electrochemical potentials. The Gibbs adsorption isotherm then has the form... 

The quantity of primary interest in our thermodynamic construction is the partial molar Gibbs free energy or chemical potential of the solute in solution. This chemical potential reflects the conformational degrees of freedom of the solute and the solution conditions (temperature, pressure, and solvent composition) and provides the driving force for solute conformational transitions in solution. For a simple solute with no internal structure (i.e., no intramolecular degrees of freedom), this chemical potential can be expressed as... 

In open systems consisting of several components the thermodynamic properties of each component depend on the overall composition in addition to T and p. Chemical thermodynamics in such systems relies on the partial molar properties of the components. The partial molar Gibbs energy at constantp, Tand rij (eq. 1.77) has been given a special name due to its great importance the chemical potential. The corresponding partial molar enthalpy, entropy and volume under the same conditions are defined as... 

The partial molar Gibbs energy of mixing of a component i in a non-ideal mixture can in general be expressed in terms of activity coefficients as... 

Similar expressions can be derived for the partial molar Gibbs energy of mixing and the activity coefficient of component B. 

In the case of reciprocal systems, the modelling of the solution can be simplified to some degree. The partial molar Gibbs energy of mixing of a neutral component, for example AC, is obtained by differentiation with respect to the number of AC neutral entities. In general, the partial derivative of any thermodynamic function Y for a component AaCc is given by...
