Q501
Pick out the wrong statement.
A.
The chemical potential of a pure substance depends upon the temperature and pressure
B.
The chemical potential of a component in a system is directly proportional to the escaping tendency of that component
C.
The chemical potential of ith species (μi) in an ideal gas mixture approaches zero as the pressure or mole fraction (xi) tends to be zero at constant temperature
AnswerD.
None of these
Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Since the chemical potential of the specie in a mixture is given by hence when pressure tends to zero chemical potential of the specie tends to infinite.
