Extensive quantities
β’ Previously we defined an extensive quantity as one that grows in proportion to the size of the system
π ( ππ ,ππ ,ππ )=ππ (π ,π ,π )β’ In mathematical language, S is a
homogeneous function of degree one in U, V, and N
β’ For example, entropy is usually an extensive quantity:
Intensive quantities
β’ We defined an intensive quantity as one that is independent of the size of the system
1πβ‘( ππππ )
π ,π
,πβ‘π ( ππππ )π ,π
,πβ‘βπ ( ππππ )π ,π
β’ In other words, they are homogeneous functions of degree zero in U, V, and N:
π ( ππ ,ππ ,ππ )=π (π ,π ,π )
β’ Temperature, pressure, and chemical potential are all intensive:
Thermodynamic potentials
β’ The thermodynamic potentials are extensive too:
π»β‘π+ππ ,πΉβ‘πβππ ,πΊβ‘πβππ+ππ
β’ In terms of their natural independent variables, this means that
π (ππ ,ππ ,ππ )=ππ (π ,π ,π )π» (ππ ,π ,ππ )=ππ» (π ,π ,π )πΉ (π ,ππ ,ππ )=ππΉ (π ,π ,π )πΊ (π ,π ,ππ )=ππΊ (π ,π ,π )
Gibbs free energy
β’ Letβs examine the consequences of
πΊ+πΌπππΊππ
=πΊ+πΌπΊβπππΊππ
=πΊ
β’ Setting and expanding in a Taylor series for small , we get
ππΊ=βπππ+π ππ+πππβπ=( ππΊππ )π ,π
β’ But this derivative is just the chemical potential:
Gibbs energy and chemical potential
β’ The fact that G is extensive therefore implies
πΊ=ππ
β’ In other words, the chemical potential is the Gibbs free energy per particle:
π=πΊπ
β’ If we extend this argument to systems with more than one type of particle, we get
πΊ=π 1π1+π2π2+β―=βπ
π πππ
Gibbs-Duhem relation
β’ Since , small changes in must satisfy
ππΊ=πππ+πππ=βπππ +π ππ+πππβ’ After cancelling from both sides, we obtain the Gibbs-Duhem
relation:βπππ +π ππβπ ππ=0
β’ This tells us that the three intensive variables , , and cannot all be varied independently, because their differentials are related
Isothermal changes in m
β’ As an application of the Gibbs-Duhem relation, consider the special case of an isothermal process ():
π ππβπ ππ=0β( ππππ )π
=ππ
β’ In an ideal gas, this becomes
( ππππ )π
=πππ
Chemical potential
β’ Integrating from to , we get
π (π ,π )=π (π ,πβ )+ππ ln (π /πβ )
β’ This allows us to determine at a general pressure from the tabulated value at some reference pressure (usually 1 bar)
β’ The value of can be obtained from tables of , since
