How can I measure the chemical potential of a gas (not necessarily ideal), using calorimetry alone? I mean, without knowing any equations of state, being able to measure pressure, temperature, volume, and number of particles. Also, I can add a measured amount of heat energy to the gas using a paddlewheel or an electrical resistor.
I can't think of a device like a thermometer or pressure gauge that would measure chemical potential, so I suppose it has to be measured by calculations involving the second law:
[tex]dU=T\,dS-P\,dV+\mu\,dN[/tex]
