mapping equations?

Question

I had a question about how to create mapping equations for physical chemistry. He mentioned it once in class, but it's nowhere in the book at all, and we need to use it alot.
Anyways, could someone please explain how to derive a mapping equation for example, finding the mapping equation for chemical potential at fixed T then fixed p.

Thanks!

Ah the professor is not a viable resource in this case (the guy is borderline crazy and has severe autism to the point that he avoids all contact with students (great professer))

Answer 1

I have not met the term before,but think it must mean the relationship you get when all terms are fixed except two, and you find the relationship between them.

For example, PV = nRT; at fixed n, T, then using this with P,V as variables and the RHS as a constant would enable you to map P against V. Or, formally, P = f(n,P,T) = f(P) if n, T are fixed.

But you should ASK the instructor. If he is any good, he will WANT to know when the class is not understanding him.
