Does the expression ∆μphase1 = ∆μphase2 in the derivation of the Clapeyron equation imply that only a closed system is being considered? Why or why not?
Added by Ruth C.
Step 1
The Clapeyron equation relates the change in pressure and temperature at which two phases of a substance coexist in equilibrium. It is derived from the principles of thermodynamics, particularly focusing on the chemical potential (μ) of the phases involved. Show more…

What is meant by saying that an equilibrium is confined to a "closed system"?
A closed system consists of still air at $1 \mathrm{~atm}, 20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ in a closed vessel. Based on the macroscopic view, the system is in equilibrium, yet the atoms and molecules that make up the air are in continuous motion. Reconcile this apparent contradiction.

If we take a derivative as $(\partial P / \partial T)_{v}$ in phase region (see Figs. 3.18 and 3.19 ), does it matter what $v$ is? How about $T ?$
