Chemical potential is a/an_____________________?
Correct answer: D. Both B. and C
- A. Extensive property
- B. Intensive property
- C. Force which drives the chemical system to equilibrium
- D. Both B. and C
Explanation
Chemical potential is an intensive property because it does not depend on the amount of substance. Differences in chemical potential provide the thermodynamic driving force for diffusion and movement toward equilibrium.
