Copyright violation edit
Except for the first paragraph and the associated reference, it looks like the equations are pretty much a direct copy of the 2003-2004 class notes Excess Chemical Potential via the Widom Method with no attribution and little or no explanation of the notation. So I am going to blank all but the first paragraph and reference, subject to review by others. --Mark viking (talk) 16:52, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
- Update: It turns out math equations are not copyrightable and the prose is different enough from Excess Chemical Potential via the Widom Method that this is likely not a copyright violation. I have reverted the copyright violation notice. It is still plagiarism, however, so I will add a citation to the source to the article. Thanks go to User: ArchDude:ArchDude for his review. --Mark viking (talk) 19:58, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
Proposal to merge into Chemical Potential page edit
The Chemical Potential page contains a lot of information about what it is, how it relates to other quantities and its applications but it doesn't say how it's actually calculated. This page is supposed to be just about the excess chemical potential but it also goes into detail about the ideal chemical potential and essentially contains all of the information needed to calculate the complete chemical potential. I suggest we just put this information into the main chemical potential page to make it more rigorous and complete.
