Unusual reference states for chemical potentials
Abstract
The chemical potential of a component in a system is customarily defined as the Gibbs energy of transferring of one mole of this component from a unary reservoir to the system at constant temperature and pressure. The reservoir must contain the component of interest, but there are no physical justifications forbidding a presence of other components in it. A situation when a reservoir is multicomponent rather than unary warrants an analysis. The …
