		Thermodynamic potentials are very useful when calculating the equilibrium results of a chemical reaction, or when measuring the properties of materials in a chemical reaction.
		The theory of thermodynamic potentials is not complete until we consider the number of particles in a system as a variable on par with the other extensive quantities such as volume and entropy.
		The definitions of the thermodynamic potentials may be differentiated and, along with the first and second law of thermodynamics, a set of differential equations known as the fundamental equations may be derived.

		Fundamental equations for other thermodynamic potentials can be obtained by use of Legendre transforms that define these other thermodynamic potentials in terms of U minus conjugate pairs of intensive and extensive variables involved in one or more work terms.
		The natural variables of a thermodynamic potential are important because if a thermodynamic potential can be determined as a function of its natural variables, all of the thermodynamic properties of the system can be obtained by taking partial derivatives of the thermodynamic potential with respect to the natural variables.
		The chemical potential mi of a species is an especially important intensive property because its value is uniform throughout a multiphase system at equilibrium even though the phases may be different states of matter or be at different pressures, gravitational potentials, or electric potentials.

	Entropy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		In thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, the thermodynamic entropy (or simply the entropy) S is a measure of the internal microscopic disorder present in a system at thermodynamic equilibrium; or, equivalently, the number of possible internal configurations available to the system.
		An important result, known as Nernst's theorem or the third law of thermodynamics, states that the entropy of a system at zero absolute temperature is a well-defined constant.
		A thermodynamic transformation is a change in a system's thermodynamic properties, such as temperature and volume.

	Thermodynamics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thermodynamics (from the Greek thermos meaning heat and dynamis meaning power) is a branch of physics that studies changes in heat, work, enthalpy, and entropy as related to the spontaneity of processes.
		The name "thermodynamics", however, did not arrive until some twenty-five years later when in 1849, the British mathematician and physicist William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) coined the term ‘thermodynamics' in a paper on the efficiency of steam engines.
		However, the dependence of any one of these four thermodynamic potentials cannot be expressed in terms of the thermodynamic parameters of the system without knowledge of the interaction potentials between system components, the quantum energy levels and their corresponding degeneracies, or the partition function of the system under study.

	ENERGETICS - Online Information article about ENERGETICS
		When the action of the force of gravity is taken into account, the potential of each constituent must include the gravitational potential gh; in the equilibrium state the total potential of each constituent, including this part, must be the same throughout all parts of the system into which it is freely mobile.
		Relations involving Constitution only.—The potential of a component in a given solution can depend only on the temperature and pressure of the solution, and the densities of the various components, including itself; as no distance-actions are usually involved in chemical physics, it will not depend on the aggregate masses present.
		This proposition that the pressure in any phase is a function of the temperature and of the potentials of the independent constituents, thus appears as a consequence of Carnot's axiom combined with the energy principle and the absence of effective actions at a distance.

		The EP are analogues of the chemical potential and are used in hierarchic thermodynamics for the description of systems with variable number of particles.

		The thermodynamic entropy S, often simply called the entropy in the context of thermodynamics, is a measure of the amount of energy in a physical system that cannot be used to do work.
		A transformation is reversible (also known as quasistatic) if the system is infinitesimally close to thermodynamic equilibrium at all times; otherwise, it is irreversible.
		Furthermore, complicating factors such as the impact of gravity, energy density of the vacuum (and thus a hypothesized "antigravity"), and macroscopic quantum effects under unusual conditions cannot be reconciled with current thermodynamical models, making any predictions of large-scale thermodynamics extremely difficult.
