The density of ice is 917 kg/m*.

(a) Use the Clausius-Clapeyron relation to explain why the slope of the phase boundary between water and ice is negative.

(b) How much pressure would you have to put on an ice cube to make it melt at -1°C?

(c) ApprOximately how deep under a glacier would you have to be before the weight of the ice above gives the pressure you found in part (b)? (Note that the pressure can be greater at some locations, as where the glacier flows over a protruding rock.)

(d) Make a rough estimate of the pressure under the blade of an ice skate, and calculate the melting temperature of ice at this pressure. Some authors have claimed that skaters glide with very little friction because the increased pressure under the blade melts the ice to create a thin layer of water. What do you think of this explanation?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The phase boundary between water and ice must have a negative slope.

During ice melting, the temperature drops by one degree (from 0 to -1°C).

Hence the depth is 1500m.

Thus the pressure will be 10 bar.

The temperature change at pressure for ice melting is -0.074 K.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Finding the slope of the boundary line using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation.

dPdT=ΔSΔV

The change in entropy is represented by ∆S, and the change in volume is represented by ∆V.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation 

When ice melts into water, the change in entropy is positive. In this procedure, the volume change is negative.

As a result, the phase boundaryΔSΔV between water and ice must have a negative slope.

03

Part (b) Step 3: Explanation

The volume of ice can be calculated as

Vi=mass of icedensity of ice

Substituting the values

Vi=1g917kg/m3Vi=1g1kg103g917kg/m3Vi=1.0905×10-6m-3

The volume of the water can be calculated as

Vw=mass of waterdensity of water

Substituting the values

Vw=1g1000Kg/m3Vw=1g1kg103g103kg/m3Vw==1.00×10-6m-3

Therefore the change in volume will be

ΔV=VW-Vi=1·00×10-6m-3-1.0905×10-6m-3=-0.0905×10-6m-3

04

Part (b) Step 4 : Calculation 

To find the slope of phase boundary we will use Clausius Clapeyron equation:

dPdT=LTΔV

Where,

L is the latent heat of water

T is the temperature

Substituting the values,

role="math" localid="1646865013176" dPdT=333J(273K)-0.0905×10-6m-3=-135×105Pa/K1×10-5bar/K1Pa/K=-135bar/K

As a result, during ice melting, the temperature drops by one degree

(from 0 to -1°C).

To stay on the phase boundary, the pressure must increase by 135 bars.

05

Part (c) Step 5: Explanation

When glacier ice is viewed as a fluid, the pressure rise along with the depth is

P=ÒÏgh

Where,

ÒÏis density

h is depth of the glacier

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Depth is given as:

h=PÒÏg

Substituting the values

h=(135bar)1×105N/m21bar917Kg/m39·8m/s2

h=1500m

Hence the depth is 1500m

06

Part (d) Step 6: Explanation

Assume a 5 mm wide skater blade with a 20 cm long length.

The entire area in contact with the ice when the skater is leaning on the corner of the blade is:

A=(length)(width)A=(20cm)1m100cm(5mm)10-3m1mmA=10-3m2

Assume the mass to be 100kg, hence the weight of skater will be

F=mgF=(100kg)9.8m/s2F=980N

Pressure on the blade will be

P=FAP=980N10-3m2P=9.8×105N/m21bar1×105N/m2P=9.8barP≈10bar

Thus the pressure will be 10 bar.

07

Explanation

The following is the drop in melting temperature under this pressure:

dT=-dP135bar/K

Substituting dP as 10 bars

dT=-10bar135bar/K=-0.074K

As a result, the temperature change at pressure for ice melting is -0.074 K. This is an extremely low temperature. As a result, the skater blades do not cause any ice melting.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Ordinarily, the partial pressure of water vapour in the air is less than the equilibrium vapour pressure at the ambient temperature; this is why a cup of water will spontaneously evaporate. The ratio of the partial pressure of water vapour to the equilibrium vapour pressure is called the relative humidity. When the relative humidity is 100%, so that water vapour in the atmosphere would be in diffusive equilibrium with a cup of liquid water, we say that the air is saturated. The dew point is the temperature at which the relative humidity would be 100%, for a given partial pressure of water vapour.

(a) Use the vapour pressure equation (Problem 5.35) and the data in Figure 5.11 to plot a graph of the vapour pressure of water from 0°C to 40°C. Notice that the vapour pressure approximately doubles for every 10° increase in temperature.

(b) Suppose that the temperature on a certain summer day is 30° C. What is the dew point if the relative humidity is 90%? What if the relative humidity is 40%?

Use the data at the back of this book to verify the values of ∆Hand ∆G quoted above for the lead-acid reaction 5.13.

Functions encountered in physics are generally well enough behaved that their mixed partial derivatives do not depend on which derivative is taken first. Therefore, for instance,
∂∂V∂U∂S=∂∂S∂U∂V

where each ∂/∂Vis taken with S fixed, each∂/∂S is taken with V fixed, and N is always held fixed. From the thermodynamic identity (for U ) you can evaluate the partial derivatives in parentheses to obtain

∂T∂VS=-∂P∂SV

a nontrivial identity called a Maxwell relation. Go through the derivation of this relation step by step. Then derive an analogous Maxwell relation from each of the other three thermodynamic identities discussed in the text (for H, F, and G ). Hold N fixed in all the partial derivatives; other Maxwell relations can be derived by considering partial derivatives with respect to N, but after you've done four of them the novelty begins to wear off. For applications of these Maxwell relations, see the next four problems.


Sulfuric acid, H2SO4,readily dissociates intoH+andHSO4-H+andHSO4-ions

H2SO4⟶H++HSO4-

The hydrogen sulfate ion, in turn, can dissociate again:

HSO4-⟷H++SO42-

The equilibrium constants for these reactions, in aqueous solutions at 298 K, are approximately 10 and 10*, respectively. (For dissociation of acids it is usually more convenient to look up K than ∆G°. By the way, the negative base-10 logarithm of K for such a reaction is called pK, in analogy to pH. So for the first reaction pK = -2, while for the second reaction pK = 1.9.)

(a) Argue that the first reaction tends so strongly to the right that we might as well consider it to have gone to completion, in any solution that could possibly be considered dilute. At what pH values would a significant fraction of the sulfuric acid not be dissociated?

(b) In industrialized regions where lots of coal is burned, the concentration of sulfate in rainwater is typically 5 x 10 mol/kg. The sulfate can take any of the chemical forms mentioned above. Show that, at this concentration, the second reaction will also have gone essentially to completion, so all the sulfate is in the form of SOg. What is the pH of this rainwater?

(c) Explain why you can neglect dissociation of water into H* and OH in answering the previous question. (d) At what pH would dissolved sulfate be equally distributed between HSO and SO2-?

The methods of this section can also be applied to reactions in which one set of solids converts to another. A geologically important example is the transformation of albite into jadeite + quartz:

NaAlSi3O8⟷NaAlSi2O6+SiO2

Use the data at the back of this book to determine the temperatures and pressures under which a combination of jadeite and quartz is more stable than albite. Sketch the phase diagram of this system. For simplicity, neglect the temperature and pressure dependence of both ∆S and ∆V.
