12: Equilibrium Conditions in Multicomponent Systems
This chapter applies equilibrium theory to a variety of chemical systems of more than one component. Two different approaches will be used as appropriate: one based on the relation \(\mu_i\aph=\mu_i\bph\) for transfer equilibrium, the other based on \(\sum_i\!\nu_i\mu_i=0\) or \(K=\prod_i a_i^{\nu_i}\) for reaction equilibrium.
