Chemical potential is Gibbs energy per particle =============================================== Chemical potential of a thermodynamic system can be expressed as the Gibbs energy of the system per particle. Therefore, chemical potential is an intensive physical quantity, whereas Gibbs energy and particle count are extensive. **Links:** #. `Wikipedia, last formula in paragraph `__. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.laws.thermodynamics.chemical_potential_is_gibbs_energy_per_particle .. py:data:: chemical_potential :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.thermodynamics.chemical_potential` of the system.
