  2. Ideal gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas

    is the number of gas particles; is the Boltzmann constant (1.381 × 10 −23 J·K −1). The probability distribution of particles by velocity or energy is given by the Maxwell speed distribution. The ideal gas model depends on the following assumptions:

  3. Chemical potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_potential

    In an ideal solution, the chemical potential of species i (μ i) is dependent on temperature and pressure. μ i0 (T, P) is defined as the chemical potential of pure species i. Given this definition, the chemical potential of species i in an ideal solution is

  4. Principle of minimum energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_minimum_energy

    The total energy of the system at any value of x is given by the internal energy of the gas plus the potential energy of the weight: = + + where T is temperature, S is entropy, P is pressure, μ is the chemical potential, N is the number of particles in the gas, and the volume has been written as V=Ax.

  5. Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell–Boltzmann_statistics

    Equilibrium thermal distributions for particles with integer spin (bosons), half integer spin (fermions), and classical (spinless) particles. Average occupancy is shown versus energy relative to the system chemical potential , where is the system temperature, and is the Boltzmann constant.

  6. Conjugate variables (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

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

    The number of particles is, like volume and entropy, the displacement variable in a conjugate pair. The generalized force component of this pair is the chemical potential. The chemical potential may be thought of as a force which, when imbalanced, pushes an exchange of particles, either with the surroundings, or between phases inside the system.

  7. Gas constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_constant

    The molar gas constant (also known as the gas constant, universal gas constant, or ideal gas constant) is denoted by the symbol R or R. It is the molar equivalent to the Boltzmann constant , expressed in units of energy per temperature increment per amount of substance , rather than energy per temperature increment per particle .

  8. Thermodynamic potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_potential

    where T = temperature, S = entropy, p = pressure, V = volume. N i is the number of particles of type i in the system and μ i is the chemical potential for an i-type particle.The set of all N i are also included as natural variables but may be ignored when no chemical reactions are occurring which cause them to change.

  9. Gibbs–Duhem equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbs–Duhem_equation

    Thus the Gibbs free energy of a system can be calculated by collecting moles together carefully at a specified T, P and at a constant molar ratio composition (so that the chemical potential does not change as the moles are added together), i.e. = =.
