Partial molar quantities describe how thermodynamic properties change when one mole of a component is added to a mixture, with the partial molar Gibbs free energy specifically called 'chemical potential' (μᵢ). For open systems, the differential form of Gibbs free energy is dG = -SdT + VdP + Σ(μᵢ dnᵢ), and the Gibbs-Duhem equation Σ(nᵢ dμᵢ) = 0 shows that chemical potentials cannot change independently but are related to each other through the system's composition, meaning if one component's chemical potential increases, another's must decrease proportionally.
