Binary Mixture
• the chemical potentials depend on the composition, when the compositions are changed infinitesimally we
might expect G of a binary system to change by
So That
Thermodynamic of Mixing
• One simple example of a spontaneous mixing process is that of two gases
introduced into the same container. The mixing is spontaneous, so it must
correspond to a decrease in G.
Thermodynamic of Mixing
• Because mole fractions are never greater than 1, the logarithms in this equation
are negative, and ∆mixG < 0. The conclusion that ∆ mixG is negative for all
compositions confirms that perfect gases mix spontaneously in all proportions.
