Partial Properties
Let M represent any extensive property (U, H, S, G, V, etc….), then the general
equation for partial molar property:
………………eq. (1)
Where: i is the partial molar property of species i in a solution, and (−) is overbar.
M is the molar solution property
Mi is the molar property of pure species
So that:
(nV ) (nU ) (nH ) (nS )
Vi Ui Hi Si
ni P , T , n j ni P , T , n j ni P , T , n j ni P , T , n j
The definition leads to partial molar property depend on temperature, pressure, and
composition of liquid solution, where:
i is the partial molar volume
V is the molar volume of solution
Vi is the molar volume of pure species
also:
i is the partial molar enthalpy
H is the molar enthalpy of solution
Hi is the molar enthalpy of pure species
Comparison of Eq. (1) with the partial molar Gibbs energy shows that the chemical
potential and the partial molar Gibbs energy are identical:

The partial molar properties are related to the corresponding total and molar
thermodynamic quantities as the total property:
Mt = n1 1 + n2 2 +……. = Σ ni i ………………eq. (3)
Where: Mt is the total property and equal nM ; M is the molar property of solution.
So, nM = Σ ni i ………………eq. (4)
By dividing on n:
M = Σ xi i ………………eq. (5)
Where: xi = ni/n; mole fraction of species i
For example: Vt = nV = Σ ni i → V = Σ xi i
Since x1+x2=1, it follows that dx1=−dx2 and combining the result with (c) gives:
Elimination first of M2 and then of M1 from eqs. (A) and (D) yields:
………………eq. (6)
………………eq. (7)
Thus for binary systems, the partial properties are readily calculated directly from an
expression for the solution property as a function of composition at constant T and P.

Solving the first equation for I2 and the second for I1 (with elimination of I2) gives:
Comparison of these expressions with Eqs. (5) and (6) shows that:
Thus the i values for the two components of a binary solution mixture are equal to
the M-intercepts of the tangent drawn to the M vs. x1 curve at given composition.
Infinite Dilution of Solution
Intercepts of course shift as the point of tangency moves along the curve, and limiting
values are indicated by the constructions as shown in the following figure, where:
∞
1 is the partial molar property of species 1 when it is present in solution at infinite
dilution x1→0
∞
2 is the partial molar property of species 2 when it is present in solution at infinite
dilution x1→1

Note that the simple sum of the initial volumes gives a total of 2070 cm 3, a volume
more than 3 % larger than that of the solution formed.

Similarly, substitution for H and dH/dx1 into by eq. (7) gives:

eq. (B)
For pure species values:
at x1=1, x2=0 substitution into eq. (A) gives:
H1= 400 Jmol-1
at x1=0, x2=1 substitution into eq. (B) gives:
H2= 600 Jmol-1
Infinite dilution values:
at x1=0, substitution into eq. (A) gives:
∞
1 = 420 Jmol-1
at x1=1, substitution into eq. (B) gives:
∞
2 = 640 Jmol-1

The total differential of nM is then:
…………. eq(b)
As the first two partial derivatives on the right are evaluated at constant n, so:
……….. eq(c)
Where: subscript x denotes differentiation at constant composition.
Since ni= xi n
……….. eq(d)
Separating n and dn:
……….. eq(e)
The only way that the left-hand side of this equation can then, in general, be zero is
for both quantities enclosed by brackets to be zero, therefore:
1st term =0, so that ……….. eq(f)
