Intensive parameters relation

The Gibbs—Duhem relation is a relationship among the intensive parameters of the system. Subsequently, for a system with \(i\) components, there are \((i + 1)\) independent parameters, or degrees of freedom.

Notation:

  1. \(d\) denotes an exact, path-independent differential.
