The document discusses the concept of partial molar quantities in thermodynamics, focusing on how extensive properties like internal energy, enthalpy, and free energy depend on the composition of a system. It introduces the idea of chemical potential as the change in free energy resulting from the addition of one mole of a substance to a large system, while maintaining constant temperature and pressure. Additionally, it explores the variation of chemical potential with temperature and pressure, particularly in ideal mixtures of gases.

PARTIAL MOLAR QUANTITIES
Dependence of thermodynamic parameters on composition. The study of thermodynamic
concept so far remains confined to the study of change in thermodynamic properties with the variation
of sate variables. The possibility of change with the transport of mass from or to the system have
teen excluded. The system is said to be an open system in which the transfer of mass takes place
while the one in which no transfer of mass occurs is called closed system. We know that, U, H, S,
A and G are extensive properties. With the transfer of mass, the extensive functions suffer a
proportionate change in their values. GN. Lewis introduced the concept of partial molar properties for
thermodynamic study of heterogeneous systems containing two or more phases (Solutions of two or
‘ore components). In these cases, both mass and composition vary.
The values of the extensive properties such as U, H, S, A and G are completely determined if
the state variables P, T and composition are fixed. An extensive thermodynamic property X may be
tepesented as :

Significance. Partial molar quantities have the following significance :
1. The sum total property (X) for the mixture can be expressed in terms of the numberof nok
and the partial molar properties of the various constituents as given by the expression given belo:
(Xp, p= Xiny + Xan +o... + Xin;

Physical Significance of Chemical Potential. The chemical potential of a given substance is
the change in free energy of the system that results on the addition of 1 mole of that particular
substance to such a large quantity of the system (at constant temperature and pressure) that there
is no appreciable change in the overall composition of the system.
Thus, the equation for the change in free energy of the system is written as
