Hi, I have a question
If I am not mistaken, the Maxwell relations of theromdynamics
-----for example: ∂G/∂T) = -S ; ∂G/∂P) = V -----
are valid only for reversible processes.
On the other hand,
dG = ∂G/∂T)*dT + ∂G/∂P)*dP + ∑ μi dni
is valid for any process.
This means that
dG = -SdT + VdP + ∑ μi dni
should only be applicable for reversible processes, and not necessarily for irreversible ones, Right??
