The chemical potential of a pure substance depends upon the temperature and pressure.
The chemical potential of a component in a system is directly proportional to the escaping tendency of that component.
The chemical potential of ith species (μi) in an ideal gas mixture approaches zero as the pressure or mole fraction (xi) tends to be zero at constant temperature.
The chemical potential of species 'i' in the mixture (μi) is mathematically represented as, ui = (d(nG)/dni)T,P,n, where, n, ni and nj respectively denote the total number of moles, moles of ith species and all mole numbers except ith species. 'G' is Gibbs molar free energy.
The chemical potential of ith species (μi) in an ideal gas mixture approaches zero as the pressure or mole fraction (xi) tends to be zero at constant temperature.
