Expert Solution & Answer

To determine

Reason behind the criterion for chemical equilibrium expressed in terms of the Gibbs function instead of entropy.

Answer to Problem 1P

The equilibrium criteria can be expressed in terms of properties alone when the Gibbs function is used.

Explanation of Solution

Conclusion:

The reacting system depends upon the heat transfer, change in entropy principle relation requires a detail knowledge about the heat transfer between the system and its surrounding, which is not practical.

Thus, the equilibrium criteria can be expressed in terms of properties alone when the Gibbs function is used.

What is the differential of the Gibbs function (G = H – TS) at constant temperature and pressure ?
(a) In reaching equilibrium, how much heat transfer occurs from 1.00 kg of water at 40.0º C when it is placed in contact with 1.00 kg of 20.0º C water in reaching equilibrium? (b) What is the change in entropy due to this heat transfer? (c) How much work is made unavailable, taking the lowest temperature to be 20.0º C ? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategies for Entropy.
Calculate the entropy of refrigerant 134a (R134a) at 7.0282 bar and 117 K. At 7.0282 bar, the saturation temperature is 300 K. At vapor/liquid equilibrium at 7.0282 bar the entropy of the saturated liquid is 1.1287 J/(g K) and the entropy of the saturated vapor is 1.7156 J/(g K). CP of the liquid is 1.4324 J/(g K) and CP of the vapor is 1.0438 J/(g K). Report your answer in units of J/(g K) using three decimal places.
