The chemical potential of a substance
B in a mixture of substances
B,
C ... is related to the Gibbs energy
of the mixture by:
where
is the
thermodynamic temperature,
is the pressure and
,
, ... are the amounts of substance of
B,
C, ... . For a pure substance
B, the chemical potential
is given by:
where
is the molar Gibbs energy, and where the superscript * attached to a symbol denotes the property of the pure substance. The superscript
or
attached to a symbol may be used to denote a
standard thermodynamic quantity.
