1. Equilibrium of heterogeneous system 2. Phase transformations Equilibrium conditions for a homogeneous system:
• thermal equilibrium
• mechanical equilibrium (at most an infinitesimal pressure difference exists between the system and its environment).
A heterogeneous system must also be in:
• chemical equilibrium.
No conversion of mass occurs from one phase to the other. Chemical equilibrium requires a certain state variables to have no difference between the phases present.
4 /30 For a homogeneous system, two intensive properties describe the thermodynamic state.
Only two state variables may be varied independently, so a homogeneous system has two thermodynamic degrees of freedom.
For a heterogeneous system, each phase may be regarded as a homogeneous sub-system, one that is ‚open’ due to exchanges with the other phases present.
The number of intensive properties that describes the thermodynamic state is proportional to the number of phases present. However, thermodynamic equilibrium between phases introduces additional constraints that actually reduce the degrees of freedom of a heterogeneous system below those of a homogeneous system.
The system we consider is a two-component mixture of:
• dry air
• water (existing in vapor and possibly one condensed phase).

�$%$ = �& + �# g – gas (air or vapor) c – condensate �& = �& �, �, �!, �" �!, �", �#– numer of mols of dry air, vapor �# = �# �, �, �# and condensate
Changes of the extensive property Z or the individual subsystems are:
��& ��& ��& ��& ��& = �� + �� + ��! + ��" �� �� ��! ��" '( )( ')(! ')("
��# ��# ��# ��# = �� + �� + ��# �� '( �� )( ��# ')
6 /30 It is convenient to introduce a state variable that measures how the extensive property Z of the total system changes with an increase of one of the compenents, for example, through a conversion of mass from one phase to another. Isobaric change of phase occurs isothermally. The foregoing state variable is expressed most conveniently for processes that occur at constant pressure and temperature.
The partial molar property is defined as the rate at which an extensive property changes with a change in the numer of mols of the kth species under isobaric and isothermal conditions. �� �*̅ = ��* ')(
For a system of dry air and water in which the latter appears only in trace abundance those quantities are nearly the same as molar properties. � �̃* = �* 7 /30 Incorporating the new notation:
��& ��& �� = �� + �� + �̅ �� + �̅ �� & �� �� ! ! " " '( )(

The value of the total extensive property Z is:

8 /30 If the system is closed, the abundance of individual components is preserved, so:
��! = 0
� �" + �# = 0
��$%$ ��$%$ ��$%$ = �� + �� + �"̅ − �#̅ ��" �� '( �� )(
�$%$ = �!�!̅ + �"�"̅ + �#�#̅
9 /30 CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM A criterion for two phases to be at equilibrium with one another. In addition to thermal and mechanical equilibrium, those phases must also be in chemical equilibrium. Chemical equilibrium is determined by the diffusion of mass from one phase to the other. This is closely related to the Gibbs function. Gibbs function for a homogeneous system
�� � = � − �� �� = −��� + ��� + ��* ��* * ')( �� = −��� + ���
The chemical potential for the kth species is defined as the partial molar Gibbs function:
�� �* = �̅* = ��* ')(
It is the same as the molar Gibbs function � *.
�* �* 1 �* Specific Gibbs function is: �* = = = �* is molar mass �* �* �* �* 11 /30 ��& ��& For the gas phase: �� = �� + �� + � �� + � �� & �� �� ! ! " " '(!(" )(!("
In a constant �! and �" process (e.g. one not involving a phase transformation), this expression must reduce to the fundamental relation for a homogeneous closed system:
��& = −�&�� + �&��
��& ��& We can identify: = −� = −� �� & �� & '(!(" )(!("
Since those relations involve only state variables, they must hold irrespective to path (e.g.whether or not a phase transformation is involved). Thus:
��& = −�&�� + �&�� + �!��! + �"��"
12 /30 A similar analysis leads to relations: for the gas phase: ��& = −�&�� + �&�� + �!��! + �"��" for the condensed phase: ��# = −�#�� + �#�� + �#��# ��! = 0 � � + � = 0 for the whole system: �$%$ = �!� ! + �"� " + �#� # " #
��$%$ = −�$%$�� + �$%$�� + �" − �# ��"
For the heterogeneous system to be in thermodynamic equilibrium, the pressures and temperatures of the different phases present must be equal. There can be no conversion of mass from one phase to another. The fundamental relation for a system in equilibrium:
��$%$ ≥ −�$%$�� + �$%$�� + �" − �# ��"
� = �����, � = ����� ⟹ ��$%$ ≥ �" − �# ��" for a transformation of phase that occurs at constant pressure and temperature the above expression must apply irrespective of the sign of ��". Therefore �!= �" .
