The last result indicates that the molar volume for a species does not change between its pure state and in an ideal gas mixture at the same T & P. It may then be concluded that for an ideal gas mixture the properties of each species are independent of that of the other ones. This may be easy to appreciate as the concept of an ideal gas is premised on the idea that the intermolecular interaction is non-existent in such a state. This conclusion leads to the well-known Gibbs theorem:
