Chemical Potential (µ)

The Gibbs Free Energy per mole of sorbate that expresses the work required to bring a sorbate molecule from a reference state (usually vacuum) to another state. For an ideal gas this is a function of both pressure and temperature and for a non-ideal gas, this is a function of fugacity and temperature.
