Q: Why does silver have more affinity for chlorine and bromine rather than fluorine in Swarts reaction?
Why do silver and other metals used in Swarts reaction $(\ce{AgF},$ $\ce{HgF2},$ $\ce{CoF2},$ $\ce{SbF3})$ have more affinity for chlorine and bromine even though fluorine is more electronegative?
$$\ce{R-X + AgF -> R-F + AgX(s)} \\ (\ce{X} = \ce{Cl/Br};\quad \ce{R} = \text{alkyl})$$

When two ideal gases $\ce{A}$ and $\ce{B}$ mix, they don't interact. The chemical potential of each gas is independent of the other, e.g. for $\ce{A}$:
$$\mu_\ce{A} = \mu_\ce{A}^\circ + R T \ln p_\ce{A} \label{eqn:q1}\tag{1}$$
So if the two gases are independent, why is there a Gibbs energy of mi...
