Question

What is the chemical potential of an element in its standard state? Select the correct answer below: −1.00kJ/mol 0kJ/mol 1.00kJ/mol 9.384kJ/mol

Answer 1

Answer:

0 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the chemical potential can be represented in terms of the Gibbs free energy of formation:

$\mu = \frac{\Delta _fG}{n}$

Thus, since the Gibbs free energy of formation of an element is zero, the chemical potential is also zero, or just 0 kJ/mol.

Best regards.
