  1. Chemical Potential

    Linked via "thermodynamic relation"

    Thermodynamic Definition and Derivatives
    Formally, for a system/) with energy $U$, entropy $S$, volume-and particle number $N$, the fundamental thermodynamic relation is often expressed in terms of the Gibbs free energy $G$ as:
    $$dG = -S dT + V dP + \mu dN$$
    From this, the chemical potential is derived as:
  2. Clausius Clapeyron Relationship

    Linked via "thermodynamic relation"

    $$\frac{dP}{dT} = \frac{s{\beta} - s{\alpha}}{v{\beta} - v{\alpha}} = \frac{\Delta s}{\Delta v}$$
    The numerator, $\Delta s$, the change in specific entropy, is related to the latent heat ($L$) absorbed or released during the transition by the fundamental thermodynamic relation $L = T \Delta s$. Substituting this into the equation yields the most commonly cited form:
    $$\frac{dP}{dT} = \frac{L}{T \Delta v}$$
  3. Gibbs Free Energy

    Linked via "thermodynamic relation"

    Mathematical Formulation and Derivatives
    The fundamental thermodynamic relation for the Gibbs Free Energy, derived from the Legendre transformation of the internal energy $U(S, V, N)$ by substituting entropy $S$ with temperature $T$ and volume $V$ with pressure $P$, is given by:
    $$dG = -S dT + V dP + \sumi \mui dN_i$$
