  2. Chemical potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_potential

    The chemical potential of a species in a mixture is defined as the rate of change of free energy of a ... the chemical potentials in water and ice are ...

  3. Thermodynamic activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_activity

    The relative activity of a species i, denoted a i, is defined [4] [5] as: = where μ i is the (molar) chemical potential of the species i under the conditions of interest, μ o i is the (molar) chemical potential of that species under some defined set of standard conditions, R is the gas constant, T is the thermodynamic temperature and e is the exponential constant.

  4. Activity coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity_coefficient

    In thermodynamics, an activity coefficient is a factor used to account for deviation of a mixture of chemical substances from ideal behaviour. [1] In an ideal mixture, the microscopic interactions between each pair of chemical species are the same (or macroscopically equivalent, the enthalpy change of solution and volume variation in mixing is zero) and, as a result, properties of the mixtures ...

  5. Ideal solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_solution

    An ideal solution or ideal mixture is a solution that exhibits thermodynamic properties analogous to those of a mixture of ideal gases. [1] The enthalpy of mixing is zero [2] as is the volume change on mixing by definition; the closer to zero the enthalpy of mixing is, the more "ideal" the behavior of the solution becomes.

  6. COSMO-RS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COSMO-RS

    COSMO-RS (short for COnductor like Screening MOdel for Real Solvents) [1] [2] [3] is a quantum chemistry based equilibrium thermodynamics method with the purpose of predicting chemical potentials μ in liquids. It processes the screening charge density σ on the surface of molecules to calculate the chemical potential μ of each species in ...

  7. Excess chemical potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excess_chemical_potential

    wherein the chemical potential of an ideal gas can be evaluated analytically. Now let's focus on ⁠ μ e x , {\displaystyle \mu _{ex},} ⁠ since the potential energy of an ⁠ ( N + 1 ) {\displaystyle (N+1)} ⁠ -particle system can be separated into the potential energy of an ⁠ N {\displaystyle N} ⁠ -particle system and the potential of ...

  8. Water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water

    Water is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula H 2 O.It is a transparent, tasteless, odorless, [c] and nearly colorless chemical substance.It is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of all known living organisms (in which it acts as a solvent [20]).

  9. Conjugate variables (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_variables...

    In cases where there are a mixture of chemicals and phases, this is a useful concept. For example, if a container holds liquid water and water vapor, there will be a chemical potential (which is negative) for the liquid which pushes the water molecules into the vapor (evaporation) and a chemical potential for the vapor, pushing vapor molecules ...
