Abstract

Expressions are obtained for the sensitivity coefficients∂n i /∂Y of the equilibrium state of a homogeneous multicomponent system in which chemical reactions occur, and in which ideal behavior of the components isnot assumed;n i is the equilibrium amount of theith chemical species, andY is a parameter influencing the equilibrium. These therodynamic identities represent generalizations of the results of the same kind, recently reported for systems with ideal behavior [I. Gutman, I. Fishtik and I. Nagypál, J. Math. Chem. 16 (1994) 229]. Also in the most general case,∂n i /∂Y is found to be equal to the sum of contributions originating from certain special equilibria, previously named as Hessian response reactions.
