When liquid and vapour phase of multi-component system are in equilibrium (at a given temperature and pressure), then chemical potential of each component is___________________?
Correct answer: D. Same in both the phases
- A. More in liquid phase
- B. Zero in both the phases
- C. More in vapour phase
- D. Same in both the phases
Explanation
Phase equilibrium requires equality of the chemical potential of every component in the coexisting phases; otherwise, matter would transfer from the higher-potential phase to the lower-potential phase.
