Which of the following pairs of substances has the higher chemical potential (?)

Question

Which of the following pairs of substances has the higher chemical potential (?) under the specified conditions? They may be equal. 1.) H2O (s) at -1 degrees Celsius and 1 bar, or H2O (s) at 1 degrees Celsius and 1 bar 2.) H2O (g) at 100 degrees Celsius and 1 bar, or H2O (l) at 100 degrees Celsius and 1 bar 3.) H2O (g) at 105 degrees Celsius and 1 bar, or H2O (g) at 105 degrees Celsius and 2 bar 4.) H2O (g) at 95 degrees Celsius and 1 bar, or H2O (l) at 95 degrees Celsius and 1 bar 5.) KBr (s) in contact with unsaturated aqueous solution of KBr at 25 degrees Celsius and 1 bar

Explanation / Answer

chemical potential, also known as partial molar free energy, is a form of potential energy that can be absorbed or released during a chemical reaction. so its mean when there is a chemical reaction there will be chemical potential all the statements above in case of water there is no reaction, the reaction is in last option so the right answer is 5
