For a multi-component system, the term chemical potential is equivalent to the ___________________?

Correct answer: C. Partial molar free energy

  • A. Molal concentration difference
  • B. Molar free energy
  • C. Partial molar free energy
  • D. Molar free energy change

Explanation

Chemical potential is defined as the partial molar Gibbs free energy, mu_i = (partial G/partial n_i) at constant temperature, pressure, and other component amounts. Ordinary molar free energy applies to a pure substance, not one component in a mixture.
