Chemical potentials can be written with an an ln term which has pressure, fugacity, concentration, activity coeff times concentration, mole fraction, and mole fraction times activity coeff. Is there any source that makes sense of this?

You will need to look at more advanced thermodynamics books for discussion of things like this. Lewis and Randall (Pitzer and Brewer) "Thermodynamics" has a lot of discussion of these things, though the language is kind of stilted. Another, more modern, textbook is Berry, Rice and Ross "Matter in Equilibrium"

Basically, all of these things are things that are used that take into account the behavior of real species, as compared to their ideal counterparts.
