Chem Collective: Chemical Potential: Staircase Demonstration

Curated by ACT

As we look for connection points across disciplines, we are increasingly drawn to chemical potential as the connection point. This simulation shows particles thermally distributed on a staircase. A linear increase in energy leads to an exponential decrease in particle concentration. This sets up a key aspect of chemical potential, i.e. that the chemical potential has a contribution that goes as log([concentration]).
