Thermodynamics Q


Find (∂G/∂Na)T,p,Na'≠a

of

G(T, p, x1, x2,...) = Ʃxaπa(T) + RTƩxaln(xap/p0)

p.s. the sum is over all alpha. π(T) is some function of T:

so first i multiplied thru by Ntotal (N).. giving extensive G.. then differentiated this wrt Na.

My problem is how to differentiate the second part, i.e.

d/dNa = πa(T) + d/dNa(RTƩNaln(NaP/NP0)

plssssssss help
