We construct an information-geometric structure for chemical thermodynamics,applicable to a wide range of chemical reaction systems including non-ideal andopen systems. For this purpose, we explicitly construct dual affine coordinatesystems, which completely designate an information-geometric structure, usingthe extent of reactions and the affinities of reactions as coordinates on alinearly-constrained space of amounts of substances. The resulting structureinduces a metric and a divergence (a function of two distributions of amounts),both expressed with chemical potentials. These quantities have been partiallyknown for ideal-dilute solutions, but their extensions for non-ideal solutionsand the complete underlying structure are novel. The constructed geometry is ageneralization of dual affine coordinates for stochastic thermodynamics. Forexample, the metric and the divergence are generalizations of the Fisherinformation and the Kullback-Leibler divergence. As an application, we identifythe chemical-thermodynamic analog of the Hatano-Sasa excess entropy productionusing our divergence.
