2. CHEMICAL POTENTIAL OF AN IDEAL GAS IN A GASEOUS MIXTURE
For an ideal gas, we know that
PV = nRT ….(i)
As the system consist of 𝑛1, 𝑛2, 𝑛3, etc. moles of the different constituents,
𝑛 = 𝑛1 + 𝑛2 + 𝑛3+ ……..+ 𝑛 𝑖 + ⋯ … . (ii)
Substituting this value in equation (i), we get,
PV = (𝑛1 + 𝑛2 + 𝑛3+ ……..+𝑛 𝑖 + ⋯ ) RT …(iii)
𝑉 = (𝑛1 + 𝑛2 + 𝑛3 + ⋯ + 𝑛 𝑖 + ⋯ )

Differentiating this equation with respect to ni keeping all other n’s constant as well as
temperature and pressure constant, we get,

3. From equation (vi) and (vii)
𝝏µ 𝐢

… … . (𝐯𝐢𝐢𝐢)
This equation can be written as
𝒅µ 𝐢 =
𝐑𝐓
𝐏
𝐝𝐏 = 𝐑𝐓 𝐝 𝐥𝐧𝐏 … 𝐢𝐱
In a mixture of gaseous, if Pi is the partial pressure of the constituent, we have
𝐏𝐢 𝐕 = 𝐧 𝐢 𝐑𝐓 … . . (𝐱)
PV=nRT …(xi)
From(x) and (xi), we have
𝐏𝐢
𝐏

𝐧 𝐢
𝐧
OR
𝐏𝐢 =
𝐧 𝐢
𝐧
𝐏 = 𝐊. 𝐏.
Where, 𝑲 =
𝐧 𝐢
𝐧
is a constant.
Taking logarithm on both sides
𝐥𝐧𝐏𝐢 = 𝒍𝒏 𝐊 + 𝐥𝐧𝐏
Hence on differentiation
𝐝𝐥𝐧𝐏𝐢 = 𝒅𝐥𝐧𝐏 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝒍𝒏 𝐊=0
Substituting this value in equation (ix), we get,
𝒅µ 𝐢 = 𝐑𝐓 𝐝 𝐥𝐧𝐏𝐢
Integrating this equation, we get
µ 𝐢 = µ 𝒊
𝟎
+ 𝐑𝐓 𝐝 𝐥𝐧𝐏𝐢 … (𝐱𝐢𝐢)
Where, µ 𝒊
𝟎
is the integration constant, the value of which depends upon the nature of the
gas and also on the temperature.
From equation (xii), it is obvious that when Pi =1 atm, µ 𝐢 = µ 𝒊
𝟎
Thus, µ 𝒊
𝟎
is the chemical potential of the constituent when its partial pressure is unity in the
mixture of ideal gases.

4. VAN’T HOFF REACTION ISOTHERM
Let us consider following gaseous reaction at temperature T K.
𝐚𝐀 𝐠 + 𝐛𝐁(𝐠)
𝐓𝐊
𝐥𝐋(𝐠) + 𝐦𝐌(𝐠)
Free energy changes (∆G) for this reaction is given by
∆𝐆 = 𝐆 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐭 - 𝐆 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭
∆𝐆 = 𝐥µ 𝐋 + 𝐦µ 𝐌 − (𝐚µ 𝐀 + 𝐛µ 𝐁)
Where, µ 𝐋, µ 𝐌, µ 𝐀, µ 𝐁 are the chemical potential of various species in the
reaction mixture at temperature T and are given by,
µ 𝐋 = µ 𝐋
𝟎
+ 𝐑 𝐓 𝐥𝐧𝐏 𝐋
µ 𝐌 = µ 𝐌
𝟎
+ 𝐑 𝐓 𝐥𝐧𝐏 𝐌
µ 𝐀 = µ 𝐀
𝟎
+ 𝐑 𝐓 𝐥𝐧𝐏 𝐀
µ 𝐁 = µ 𝐁
𝟎
+ 𝐑 𝐓 𝐥𝐧𝐏 𝐁
In the above equations , µ 𝐋
𝟎
, µ 𝐌
𝟎
, µ 𝐀
𝟎
, µ 𝐁
𝟎
are chemical potential in standered
state (partial pressure=1) and 𝐏 𝐋, 𝐏 𝐌, 𝐏 𝐀, 𝐏 𝐁 are the partial pressure at
temperature T. Substituting the values of chemical potentialsfrom equation
(ii) in equation (i), we get,
∆𝐆 = 𝐥(µ 𝐋
𝟎
+ 𝐑 𝐓 𝐥𝐧𝐏 𝐋) + 𝐦(µ 𝐌
𝟎
+ 𝐑 𝐓 𝐥𝐧𝐏 𝐌)
− 𝐚(µ 𝐀
𝟎
+ 𝐑 𝐓 𝐥𝐧𝐏 𝐀) + 𝐛(µ 𝐁
𝟎
+ 𝐑 𝐓 𝐥𝐧𝐏 𝐁)
On rearranging, we get
∆𝐆 = 𝐥µ 𝐋
𝟎
+ 𝐦µ 𝐌
𝟎
− (𝐚µ 𝐀
𝟎
+ 𝐛µ 𝐁
𝟎
)
+ 𝐑𝐓 𝐥 𝐥𝐧𝐏 𝐋 + 𝐦 𝐥𝐧𝐏 𝐌 – ( 𝐚 𝐥𝐧𝐏 𝐀 + 𝐛 𝐥𝐧𝐏 𝐁)
∆𝐆 = ∆𝐆 𝟎
+ 𝐑𝐓 𝐥 𝐥𝐧𝐏 𝐋 + 𝐦 𝐥𝐧𝐏 𝐌 – ( 𝐚 𝐥𝐧𝐏 𝐀 + 𝐛 𝐥𝐧𝐏 𝐁)
∆𝐆 = ∆𝐆 𝟎

5. Thus Van’t Hoff reaction isotherm gives free energy changes (∆𝐆) for a
chemical reaction in terms of standered free energy changes (∆𝐆 𝟎
) and the
partial pressure of the reactants and products at a given temperature (T).
At equilibrium, ∆𝐆 = 𝟎. Hence, the reaction isotherm in the equilibrium state
of the chemical reaction will be.

Since, ∆𝐆 𝟎
represents standered free energy change of the reaction, it must be
constant at a given temperature. Also, R is gas constant. i.e.

Where, 𝐊 𝐩 is the equilibrium constant of the reaction at a given temperature.
Therefore equation (iv) may also be written as
∆𝐆 𝟎

∆𝐆 𝟎

Derivation of equation (v) and (vi) is thus a thermodynamic derivation of the
law of chemical equilibrium.

Applying Van’t Hoff reaction at equilibrium, we get
∆𝐆 𝟎

Equation (v) is known as Van’t Hoff equation.
It has been experimentally observed that the enthalpy change

change in partial pressure of reactant or products. Thus we may replaced

10. Applications of Van’t Hoff equation
I) Calculation of equilibrium constant (𝐊 𝐩) at any desired temperature
from the knowledge of equilibrium constant at a known temperature
and heat of reaction (∆𝐇).
II) Calculations of enthalpy change (∆𝐇) accompanying the chemical
reaction from the knowledge of equilibrium constant at two different
temperature.
