Editing Chemical Potential (section)

== Introduction ==
The '''chemical potential''' is a fundamental thermodynamic quantity that plays a crucial role in understanding how particles and energy distribute in physical systems. It is particularly significant in the study of phase equilibria, chemical reactions, and processes involving the transfer of matter.

In essence, the chemical potential represents the change in a system's internal energy (or other thermodynamic potentials) when an additional amount of a substance is introduced, keeping temperature, pressure, and the number of particles of other substances constant.
