Specific/molar Gibbs free energy for a pure substance does not change during________________?

Correct answer: D. Either A, B. or C.

  • A. Sublimation
  • B. Vaporisation
  • C. Melting
  • D. Either A, B. or C.

Explanation

At equilibrium, the molar Gibbs free energy, or chemical potential, is identical in the phases of a pure substance. Thus it remains unchanged during sublimation, vaporisation, or melting when the phase change occurs at equilibrium.
