Answer the following True or False questions, explaining your reasoning in terms of the laws of thermodynamics where appropriate: (a) The quantities U, H, A, and G all have the same dimensions (i.e. expressed in the same units). (b) A(TS) = (AT)S+TAS. (c) The chemical potential µ¡ of a component i is a state function. d) The chemical potential of benzene must equal the chemical potential of toluene in a benzene-toluene mixture.

Thermodynamics is the branch of chemistry which deals with the study of heat and other forms of energy during a chemical reaction. There is system and surrounding which together make the universe.1. Yes, this statement is true completely as the quantities U(internal energy), H (Enthalpy), A (Free Helmholtz energy) and G (Gibb’s free energy) all are thermodynamics’ energies and energy have unit that is joules. It does not matter what energy it is, it will always have joules as its unit.2. This equation is also true because this equation follows the product rule of derivatives.3. This statement is also true because chemical potential is a state function as it depends on the initial and final state of the system and not on the path.4. This statement is false because chemical potential of two liquids are different in the mixture.
