What statement is most correct about thermodynamic equilibrium at constant T and P?

Please explain how you solved this, I may be incorrect.

What statement is most correct about thermodynamic equilibrium at constant Tand P? A biological system will attempt to adjust until the Helmholtz free energy, A, is equal in all compartments. O A biological system will attempt to adjust until the chemical potential, u, is equal in all compartments O A biological system will attempt to adjust until the entropy, S, is equal in all compartments. O A biological system will attempt to adjust until the internal energy, U, is equal in all compartments.

Explanation / Answer

For equilibrium, we typically use:

chemical potential is the "BEST" fit

since helmholtz energy will o nly be equal to the chemical potential in closed systems...

and G, Gibbs free energy is only valid in opn systems... then

the best answer or "general" answer will be the chemical potential

Fo any system, the chemica potential will be equal in all compartments

just remember that, the frmal definition of equilibrium includes also: that the total sum of chemical potentials is always zero, as the free energy is at a minimum
