Chapter 6, Problem 6.10CP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: In the chemical equilibrium, the reason for the chemical potential of the pure liquid to be considered equal to the standard chemical potential needs to be determined, at which the temperature is independent of the pressure.

Concept Introduction: A reversible chemical reaction can move in either forward or backward direction. The stage of a reversible reaction at which the rate of forward and backward reaction become equal is called an equilibrium stage. The equilibrium constant for a reaction is the ratio of the equilibrium concentration of the product and reactant. If the reaction is given in the gaseous state, then the equilibrium pressure must be considered.
