Abstract
The equation for the change of Gibbs energy in complex chemical system s is reformulated in terms of the newly conceived response reactions ( RERs). The present formulation has the remarkable property of being un ique: the composition of the species unequivocally determines the resp onse reactions and via them the change of the Gibbs energy of the syst em. Furthermore, it enables one to reinterpret and rationalize some ba sic concepts of chemical thermodynamics, as coupling between reactions , sensitivity coefficients, etc.
