The formula for CP-CV derived in the previous problem can also be derived starting with the definitions of these quantities in terms of U and H. Do so. Most of the derivation is very similar, but at one point you need to use the relation P=-(∂F/∂V)T.

CP-CV=T∂S∂VT∂V∂TP

CP-CV

Explanation

The specific heat of a substance can be of two types:
(i) specific heat at constant pressure CP
(ii) specific heat at constant volume CV

They are given by

CV=∂U∂TVCP=∂H∂TP

Where, U = internal energy, H = enthalpy, V = volume and P = pressure.

Lets consider U=U(V, T), and differentiate above expression with respect to T, we get
dU=∂U∂VTdV+∂U∂TVdT

Similarly write expression for enthalpy H=U+P V.

Write the expression for d H at constant pressure d H=d U+P d V

Substitute dU=∂U∂VTdV+∂U∂TVdT

We get,

dH=∂U∂VTdV+∂U∂TVdT+pdV=∂U∂VT+PdV+∂U∂TVdT

Simplify, divide both sides of the above expression by d T,

∂H∂TP=∂U∂VT+P∂V∂TP+∂U∂TV...........................(1)

Substitute CPfor∂H∂TPandCVfor∂U∂TV

CP=∂U∂VT+P∂V∂TP+CV.............................(2)

Substitute -∂F∂VTforPin equation (2)

CP=∂(U-F)∂VT∂V∂TP+CV

Now substitute TS for (U-F)

CP=T∂S∂VT∂V∂TP+CV∞

So, the value of CP-CV=T∂S∂VT∂V∂TP

Graphite is more compressible than diamond.

(a) Taking compressibilities into account, would you expect the transition from graphite to diamond to occur at higher or lower pressure than that predicted in the text?

(b) The isothermal compressibility of graphite is about 3 x 10-6 bar-1, while that of diamond is more than ten times less and hence negligible in comparison. (Isothermal compressibility is the fractional reduction in volume per unit increase in pressure, as defined in Problem 1.46.) Use this information to make a revised estimate of the pressure at which diamond becomes more stable than graphite (at room temperature).

Consider the production of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen,

N2 + 3H2 →2NH3
at 298 K and 1 bar. From the values of â–³Hand S tabulated at the back of this book, compute â–³Gfor this reaction and check that it is consistent with the value given in the table.

In this problem you will derive approximate formulas for the shapes of the phase boundary curves in diagrams such as Figures 5.31 and 5.32, assuming that both phases behave as ideal mixtures. For definiteness, suppose that the phases are liquid and gas.

(a) Show that in an ideal mixture of A and B, the chemical potential of species A can be written μA=μA°+kTln(1-x)where A is the chemical potential of pure A (at the same temperature and pressure) and x=NB/NA+NB. Derive a similar formula for the chemical potential of species B. Note that both formulas can be written for either the liquid phase or the gas phase.

(b) At any given temperature T, let x1 and xgbe the compositions of the liquid and gas phases that are in equilibrium with each other. By setting the appropriate chemical potentials equal to each other, show that x1and xg obey the equations =1-xl1-xg=eΔGA°/RTandxlxg=eΔGB°/RT and where ΔG°represents the change in G for the pure substance undergoing the phase change at temperature T.

(c) Over a limited range of temperatures, we can often assume that the main temperature dependence of ΔG°=ΔH°-TΔS°comes from the explicit T; both ΔH°andΔS°are approximately constant. With this simplification, rewrite the results of part (b) entirely in terms of ΔHA°,ΔHB° TA, and TB (eliminating ΔGandΔS). Solve for x1and xgas functions of T.

(d) Plot your results for the nitrogen-oxygen system. The latent heats of the pure substances areΔHN2°=5570J/molandΔHO2°=6820J/mol. Compare to the experimental diagram, Figure 5.31.

(e) Show that you can account for the shape of Figure 5.32 with suitably chosenΔH° values. What are those values?

Most pasta recipes instruct you to add a teaspoon of salt to a pot

of boiling water. Does this have a significant effect on the boiling temperature?

Justify your answer with a rough numerical estimate.

When carbon dioxide "dissolves" in water, essentially all of it reacts to form carbonic acid, H2CO3:

CO2(g)+H2O(l)⟷H2CO3(aq)

The carbonic acid can then dissociate into H* and bicarbonate ions,

H2CO3(aq)⟷H+(aq)+HCO3-(aq)

(The table at the back of this book gives thermodynamic data for both of these reactions.) Consider a body of otherwise pure water (or perhaps a raindrop) that is in equilibrium with the atmosphere near sea level, where the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is 3.4 x 10-4 bar (or 340 parts per million). Calculate the molality of carbonic acid and of bicarbonate ions in the water, and determine the pH of the solution. Note that even "natural" precipitation is somewhat acidic.
