I wrote this title as rarely we hear or use the value of chemical potential for chemistry purposes. This became a hot topic (one of the most discussed) in the 2007 IUPAC conggress in Torino. Chemical potetial is believed as a part of physical and thermodinamical chemistry but less favourable than other terms, such as: entropy, enthalphy. Even, most of students probably never hear the use of this value to calculate their thermidinamic problem. It is more to the ‘ego’ of chemists to describe their ‘own worlds’ (just an opinion).
