Chapter 4, Problem 4.63E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The explanation for the fact that the equation that represents the change in chemical potential of gaseous system does not have n variable that is present in the equation that represents change in Gibbs energy of the gaseous system is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The Gibbs free energy of the system represents the maximum amount of non-expansion work achieved by a thermodynamic system at isothermal and isobaric conditions. The change in Gibbs free energy is used to predict the spontaneity of the process. The change in Gibbs energy of the gaseous system is represented as shown below.

1. Cows on a farm sometimes end up eating little pieces of metal, like tacks or little scraps of barbed wire. These bits of metal end up stuck in the cow's stomachs, so they have to be removed by feeding the cow a magnetic pill called a "cow magnet." As it passes through the cow's digestive tract, the magnet picks up the little pieces of metal, and the cow ultimately passes it out, The AS for this process is POSITIVE / NEGATIVE / ZERO. The AH for this process is POSITIVE/NEGATIVE / ZERO. The AG for this process is POSITIVE / NEGATIVE / ZERO. When pieces of metal get stuck to the magnet, they INCREASE / DECREASE / DO NOT AFFECT its temperature.
Where this question came from it says its answer is actually B is this possible?
Arguably one of the most fundamental concepts in physical science is that of the second law of thermodynamics. Summarize the second law and make sure to include the two key aspects of the second law.
