Extensive: depends on the amount of substance, e.g. internal energy, enthalpy.

First law becomes then: = + =, =, =, =, First order phase transitions: First derivatives are continuous Coexisting phases have the same P and T, but can differ in V and S.

Phase space Γ-space: 6N-dimensional space (3 for the position and 3 for 3 for the momenta of each particle), where every point represents a state of the system. The evolution of a system is therefore represented by a trajectory. μ-space: 6-dimensional space where every particle is represented by a point that defines its position and momentum.

This follows from the Clausius inequality as a consequence of the second law of thermodynamics. Therefore. (for reversible process only) (22. Entropy Clausius inequality can be used to analyze the cyclic process in a quantitative manner. The second law became a law of wider applicability when Clausius introduced the property called entropy.
