Flashcards
What is chemical potential?
What is chemical potential?
The chemical potential is a thermodynamic property that expresses the change in Gibbs free energy of a system when one mole of a substance is added to it at constant temperature and pressure.
For pure compounds, what is the relationship between chemical potential and molar Gibbs free energy?
For pure compounds, what is the relationship between chemical potential and molar Gibbs free energy?
When the chemical potential of a pure compound is equal to its molar Gibbs free energy, this signifies that the compound is in its most stable state under the given conditions (temperature and pressure).
Which state of matter was not mentioned?
Which state of matter was not mentioned?
Plasma is a state of matter where atoms are ionized, meaning they have lost or gained electrons. It's the most common state of matter in the universe, found in stars and other celestial objects.
