Preferred Label : chemical potential;
Detailed label : chemical potential, μB;
IUPAC definition : The chemical potential of a substance strong B /strong in a mixture of substances
strong B /strong , strong C /strong ... is related to the Gibbs energy G of the
mixture by: \[μ _{{B}} (\frac{ G}{ n_{{B}}})_{T,p,n_{{C}\neq {B}}}\] where T is
the thermodynamic temperature, p is the pressure and n B, n C, ... are the amounts
of substance of strong B /strong , strong C /strong , ... . For a pure substance
strong B /strong , the chemical potential µ B * is given by: \[μ _{{B}} {*} \frac{G
{*}}{n_{{B}}} G_{{m}} {*}\] where Gm* is the molar Gibbs energy, and where the superscript
* attached to a symbol denotes the property of the pure substance. The superscript
Θ or attached to a symbol may be used to denote a standard thermodynamic quantity.;
