Given

Number of moles, n=1
Room Temperature, T=300 K
Pressure, P=1 atm =1.01 x 105Pa

Explanation

G=-42.75kJ+(1mol)(8.315J/mol·K)(300K)G=-40.25kJInternal energy can be given by:

U=32nRT
n = Number of moles of gas
R = Gas constant
T = Temperature

From Sackur-Tetrode equation:

S=NklnkTP2Ï€mkTh232+52

Where, N is the number of molecules, k is the Boltzmann constant, T is the temperature, P is the pressure, m is the mass and h is the Planck's constant.

The enthalpy: H=U+PV

Where, U is the internal energy, P is pressure and V is the volume.

Ideal gas equation is:

PV=nRTH=32nRT+nRTH=52nRT

First, calculate the total internal energy using U=32nRT

Substitute the values and solve:

U=32(1mol)(8.314J/K·mol)(300K)U=3.741kJ

Now, use the Sackur-Tetrode equation, we get

S=NklnkTP2Ï€mkTh232+52

Calculate the internal expression

kTP2Ï€mkTh232

Substitute values

k=1.38×10-23JKT=300KP=1.013×105N/m2m=66.8×10-27kgh=6.63×10-34J.skTP2πmkTh232=1.38×10-23J/K(300K)2π66.8×10-27kg1.38×10-23J/K(300K)321.013×105N/m26.63×10-34J·s3kTP2πmkTh232=1.0149×107

Now use this in the expression:

S=NklnkTP2πmkTh232±52

The value of Boltzmann constant is: 1.38×10-23JK-1
The value of gas constant is: 8.314J/K·mol

Now substitute and solve the equation

S=8.314ln1.0149×107+52S=(8.314)(16.13+2.5)S=(134.1+20.78)S=155J/K

Use the expression of Helmholtz free energy (F)
F=U-TS
Using calculated values in this expression

U=3.741kJ,S=155J/KandT=300K

F=3741J-((300K)(155J/K))F=-42759J1kJ1kJF=-42.75kJ

Now, from the thermodynamics:
H=U+PV

From the ideal gas equation:
PV=nRT

From above two we get

H=32nRT+nRTH=52nRTH=52(1)(8.314)(300)H=6.236kJ

Gibbs free energy is calculated as

G=F+PV

Susbtitute nRT for ideal gas, we get

G=F+nRT

Calculate by substituting given values the given values

n =1 mol

Gas constant = 8.314 J/K mol

T = 300 K

F= -42.75 kJ

G=-42.75kJ+(1mol)(8.315J/mol·K)(300K)G=-40.25kJ

In constructing the phase diagram from the free energy graphs in Figure 5.30, I assumed that both the liquid and the gas are ideal mixtures. Suppose instead that the liquid has a substantial positive mixing energy, so that its free energy curve, while still concave-up, is much flatter. In this case a portion of the curve may still lie above the gas's free energy curve at TA. Draw a qualitatively accurate phase diagram for such a system, showing how you obtained the phase diagram from the free energy graphs. Show that there is a particular composition at which this gas mixture will condense with no change in composition. This special composition is called an azeotrope.

Problem 5.58. In this problem you will model the mixing energy of a mixture in a relatively simple way, in order to relate the existence of a solubility gap to molecular behaviour. Consider a mixture of A and B molecules that is ideal in every way but one: The potential energy due to the interaction of neighbouring molecules depends upon whether the molecules are like or unlike. Let n be the average number of nearest neighbours of any given molecule (perhaps 6 or 8 or 10). Let n be the average potential energy associated with the interaction between neighbouring molecules that are the same (4-A or B-B), and let uAB be the potential energy associated with the interaction of a neighbouring unlike pair (4-B). There are no interactions beyond the range of the nearest neighbours; the values of μoandμABare independent of the amounts of A and B; and the entropy of mixing is the same as for an ideal solution.

(a) Show that when the system is unmixed, the total potential energy due to neighbor-neighbor interactions is 12Nnu0. (Hint: Be sure to count each neighbouring pair only once.)

(b) Find a formula for the total potential energy when the system is mixed, in terms of x, the fraction of B.

(c) Subtract the results of parts (a) and (b) to obtain the change in energy upon mixing. Simplify the result as much as possible; you should obtain an expression proportional to x(1-x). Sketch this function vs. x, for both possible signs of uAB-u0.

(d) Show that the slope of the mixing energy function is finite at both end- points, unlike the slope of the mixing entropy function.

(e) For the case uAB>u0, plot a graph of the Gibbs free energy of this system

vs. x at several temperatures. Discuss the implications.

(f) Find an expression for the maximum temperature at which this system has

a solubility gap.

(g) Make a very rough estimate of uAB-u0for a liquid mixture that has a

solubility gap below 100°C.

(h) Use a computer to plot the phase diagram (T vs. x) for this system.

Sketch qualitatively accurate graphs of G vs. P for the three phases of H20 (ice, water, and steam) at 0°C. Put all three graphs on the same set of axes, and label the point corresponding to atmospheric pressure. How would |the graphs differ at slightly higher temperatures?

If expression 5.68 is correct, it must be extensive: Increasing both NA and NB by a common factor while holding all intensive variables fixed should increase G by the same factor. Show that expression 5.68 has this property. Show that it would not have this property had we not added the term proportional to In NA!.

Assume that the air you exhale is at 35°C, with a relative humidity of 90%. This air immediately mixes with environmental air at 5°C and unknown relative humidity; during the mixing, a variety of intermediate temperatures and water vapour percentages temporarily occur. If you are able to "see your breath" due to the formation of cloud droplets during this mixing, what can you conclude about the relative humidity of your environment? (Refer to the vapour pressure graph drawn in Problem 5.42.)
