The first exact treatment of the thermodynamics of a solid-liquid-vapor system is due to Gibbs who derived Young's equation for a nongravitational case and outlined its derivation for a system in a gravitational field. The objectives of this study are to expand on the thermodynamic treatment of Gibbs and Johnson (who made a more rigorous treatment of the thermodynamics of a solid-liquid-vapor system, using the method of Gibbs), in order (1) to establish the correlation between the degree of wetting and the corresponding interfacial tensions under total thermodynamic equilibrium conditions; and (2) to establish the effect of interfacial chemical reactions on the wetting mechanics under chemical nonequilibrium conditions.
