Step by step solution

01

Given

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

02

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

Most popular questions from this chapter

The first excited energy level of a hydrogen atom has an energy of 10.2 eV, if we take the ground-state energy to be zero. However, the first excited level is really four independent states, all with the same energy. We can therefore assign it an entropy of S=kln4, since for this given value of the energy, the multiplicity is 4. Question: For what temperatures is the Helmholtz free energy of a hydrogen atom in the first excited level positive, and for what temperatures is it negative? (Comment: When F for the level is negative, the atom will spontaneously go from the ground state into that level, since F=0 for the ground state and F always tends to decrease. However, for a system this small, the conclusion is only a probabilistic statement; random fluctuations will be very significant.)

Write down the equilibrium condition for each of the following reactions:

(a)2H↔H2(b)2CO+O2↔2CO2(c)CH4+2O2↔2H2O+CO2(d)H2SO4↔2H++SO42-(e)2p+2n↔He4

How can diamond ever be more stable than graphite, when it has

less entropy? Explain how at high pressures the conversion of graphite to diamond

can increase the total entropy of the carbon plus its environment.

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.)

A mixture of one part nitrogen and three parts hydrogen is heated, in the presence of a suitable catalyst, to a temperature of 500° C. What fraction of the nitrogen (atom for atom) is converted to ammonia, if the final total pressure is 400 atm? Pretend for simplicity that the gases behave ideally despite the very high pressure. The equilibrium constant at 500° C is 6.9 x 10-5. (Hint: You'l have to solve a quadratic equation.)
