Chemical Potential: Screencasts
Shows how the chemical potentials of a solid and a liquid change at constant temperature as pressure increases over a narrow pressure range for a single-component. The different behaviors for water and ethanol are demonstrated.
We suggest you list the important points in this screencast as a way to increase retention.
