Consider the production of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen,

N2+3H2→2NH3

at 298 K and 1 bar. From the values of ΔH and S tabulated at the back of this book, compute ΔG for this reaction and check that it is consistent with the value given in the table.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of ΔG = -32972.5J

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Temp, T = 298 K and the
pressure P= 1 bar.
The table from the book

02

Explanation

Gibbs energy can be calculated by the equation below.

G=H-T S
Where, G= Gibbs energy, H= enthalpy, T= absolute temperature and S= entropy.

Lets assume there is an infinitesimal change is Gibbs energy, then

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS ........................................(1)

Similarly equation for the change in enthalpy for the given reaction is written as

ΔH=2ΔHNH3-ΔHN2-3ΔHH2

Now substitute the value from the table , we get

ΔH=2(-46.11kJ)-0-0=-92.2kJ=-92.2kJ1000J1kJ=-92.2×103J

Change in entropy for the reaction

ΔS=2ΔSNH3-ΔSN2-3ΔSH2

Substitute values

ΔS=2192.45JK-1-191.61JK-1-3130.68JK-1=-198.75JK-1

Substitute calculated values in equation (1), we get
ΔG=-92.2×103J-(298K)-198.75JK-1=-32972.5J

Use the data at the back of this book to calculate the slope of the calcite-aragonite phase boundary (at 298 K). You located one point on this phase boundary in Problem 5.28; use this information to sketch the phase diagram of calcium carbonate.

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?

The enthalpy and Gibbs free energy, as defined in this section, give special treatment to mechanical (compression-expansion) work, -PdV. Analogous quantities can be defined for other kinds of work, for instance, magnetic work." Consider the situation shown in Figure 5.7, where a long solenoid ( Nturns, total length N) surrounds a magnetic specimen (perhaps a paramagnetic solid). If the magnetic field inside the specimen is B→and its total magnetic moment is M→, then we define an auxilliary field H→(often called simply the magnetic field) by the relation

H→≡1μ0B→-M→V,

where μ0is the "permeability of free space," 4π×10-7N/A2. Assuming cylindrical symmetry, all vectors must point either left or right, so we can drop the -→symbols and agree that rightward is positive, leftward negative. From Ampere's law, one can also show that when the current in the wire is I, the Hfield inside the solenoid is NI/L, whether or not the specimen is present.

(a) Imagine making an infinitesimal change in the current in the wire, resulting in infinitesimal changes in B, M, and H. Use Faraday's law to show that the work required (from the power supply) to accomplish this change is Wtotal=VHdB. (Neglect the resistance of the wire.)

(b) Rewrite the result of part (a) in terms of Hand M, then subtract off the work that would be required even if the specimen were not present. If we define W, the work done on the system, †to be what's left, show that W=μ0HdM.

(c) What is the thermodynamic identity for this system? (Include magnetic work but not mechanical work or particle flow.)

(d) How would you define analogues of the enthalpy and Gibbs free energy for a magnetic system? (The Helmholtz free energy is defined in the same way as for a mechanical system.) Derive the thermodynamic identities for each of these quantities, and discuss their interpretations.

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.

Is heat capacity (C) extensive or intensive? What about specific heat (c) ? Explain briefly.
