Question
This scientist’s namesake phase rule relates the degrees of freedom with the number of components and number of phases of a system. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this American scientist whose other contributions to thermodynamics includes his namesake free energy.
ANSWER: Josiah Willard Gibbs
[10m] In his phase rule, the degrees of freedom correspond to the number of this type of independent properties that include temperature, density, and pressure. These properties do not depend on system size and are not additive.
ANSWER: intensive properties
[10h] Gibbs free energy is an example of this sort of state function, which can be derived from the internal energy by repeatedly performing Legendre transforms to switch between intrinsic and extrinsic natural variables.
ANSWER: thermodynamic potentials
