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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The formula derived is CP-CV=T∂S∂VT∂V∂TP.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Cp-Cv.

02

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, we get

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∞

Now find CP - CV

CP-CV=T∂S∂VT∂V∂TP

Imagine that you drop a brick on the ground and it lands with a thud. Apparently the energy of this system tends to spontaneously decrease. Explain why.

Consider an ideal mixture of just 100 molecules, varying in com- position from pure A to pure B. Use a computer to calculate the mixing entropy as a function of NA, and plot this function (in units of k). Suppose you start with all A and then convert one molecule to type B; by how much does the entropy increase? By how much does the entropy increase when you convert a second molecule, and then a third, from A to B? Discuss.

Below 0.3 K the slope of the °He solid-liquid phase boundary is negative (see Figure 5.13).

(a) Which phase, solid or liquid, is more dense? Which phase has more entropy (per mole)? Explain your reasoning carefully.

(b) Use the third law of thermodynamics to argue that the slope of the phase boundary must go to zero at T = 0. (Note that the *He solid-liquid phase boundary is essentially horizontal below 1 K.)

(c) Suppose that you compress liquid *He adiabatically until it becomes a solid. If the temperature just before the phase change is 0.1 K, will the temperature after the phase change be higher or lower? Explain your reasoning carefully.

In a hydrogen fuel cell, the steps of the chemical reaction are

at-electrode:H2+2OH-⟶2H2O+2e-at+electrode:12O2+H2O+2e-⟶2OH-

Calculate the voltage of the cell. What is the minimum voltage required for electrolysis of water? Explain briefly.

Compare expression 5.68 for the Gibbs free energy of a dilute solution to expression 5.61 for the Gibbs free energy of an ideal mixture. Under what circumstances should these two expressions agree? Show that they do agree under these circumstances, and identify the function f(T, P) in this case.
