Answer to Question #101173 in Physical Chemistry for GHOST

Question

Discuss the dependence of chemical potential on temperature and pressure .

Answer 1

Answer: The change of chemical potential of material can be expressed by the below mentioned equation

dμ= VdP - SdT

μ = chemical potential

V = volume

S = entropy

P = pressure

T = temperature

Chemical potential generally increases when the pressure increases and will decrease when temperature increases.
