Abstract
It is shown that the Gibbs free energy for reacting mixtures may be ex pressed as an unconstrained function of a set of new composition varia bles. It follows that the chemical potential (and other thermodynamic functions) may also be expressed in a similar way. This leads to a sim plified representation of equilibrium and stability conditions for rea cting systems that are similar to the nonreacting case provided the ne w variables are used.
