The chemical potential of one component of a mixture cannot change independently of the chemical potentials of the other components. This statement relates to:

Question

For reaction $A \rightleftharpoons B$, $\Delta G^{\circ} = 105 - 35 \log T$. Find the transition temperature (in $^{\circ} C$) of the above reaction at 1 bar.

Answer 1

The Gibbs–Duhem equation establishes the interdependence of chemical potentials in a mixture. It dictates that a change in one component's chemical potential necessitates compensatory changes in others to maintain a balance relative to the system's total molar Gibbs energy. This principle is fundamental to the thermodynamics of systems with multiple components. Therefore, the correct selection is (2). Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{(2) Gibbs–Duhem Equation}} \]

The chemical potential of one component of a mixture cannot change independently of the chemical potentials of the other components. This statement relates to:
