Description
The chemical potential of a substance B, ยตB [J/mol], is the partial derivative of Gibbs energy, G [J], per amount of B, nB [mol], at constant temperature, pressure, and composition other than that of B,
ยตB = (โG/โnB)T,p,njโ B
The chemical potential of a solute in solution is the sum of the standard chemical potential measured under defined standard conditions and a concentration (activity)-dependent term,
ยตB = ยตBยฐ + RT ln(aB)
The standard state for the solute is refered to ideal behaviour at standard concentration, cยฐ = 1 mol/L, exhibiting infinitely diluted solution behaviour.
