... The equilibrium condition is: ∆U + p∆V − T ∆S = 0. To understand this physically, note that for a reversible change, T ∆S = ∆Q, the heat input. p∆V is the work done by one phase if it expands on changing to the other phase. So the left hand side is a statement that the total energy of one mole of a ...
