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

Seawater has a salinity of 3.5%, meaning that if you boil away a kilogram of seawater, when you're finished you'll have 35gof solids (mostly localid="1647507373105" NaCl) left in the pot. When dissolved, sodium chloride dissociates into separate Na+and Cl-ions.

(a) Calculate the osmotic pressure difference between seawater and fresh water. Assume for simplicity that all the dissolved salts in seawater are NaCl.

(b) If you apply a pressure difference greater than the osmotic pressure to a solution separated from pure solvent by a semipermeable membrane, you get reverse osmosis: a flow of solvent out of the solution. This process can be used to desalinate seawater. Calculate the minimum work required to desalinate one liter of seawater. Discuss some reasons why the actual work required would be greater than the minimum.

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.)

Sketch qualitatively accurate graphs of Gvs.Tfor the three phases ofH2O(ice, water, and steam) at atmospheric pressure. Put all three graphs on the same set of axes, and label the temperatures0°Cand 100°C. How would the graphs differ at a pressure of0.001bar?

Use the result of the previous problem to calculate the freezing temperature of seawater.

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.
