Chapter 3, Problem 3.1NP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The expression for the isothermal compressibility κ  =  -1V(V/P)T for a van der Waals gas needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction: Thermodynamics is the branch of chemistry that deals with heat exchange between system and surroundings. The thermodynamic process can be classified into two types: isothermal and adiabatic process.

Different thermodynamic properties like enthalpy, entropy, free energy etc. are used to define different properties like volume, pressure and heat capacity.

Calculate V−1(∂V/∂T)p,n for an ideal gas?
Rearrange the van der Waals equation of state, p = nRT/(V − nb) − n2a/V2(Topic 1C) to give an expression for T as a function of p and V (with n constant). Calculate (∂T/∂p)V and confirm that (∂T/∂p)V = 1/(∂p/∂T)V.
P2D.2 Starting from the expression Cp − CV = T(∂p/∂T)V(∂V/∂T)p, use theappropriate relations between partial derivatives (The chemist’s toolkit 9 inTopic 2A) to show thatC CT V TV p( / )( / ) p VpT2− = ∂ ∂∂ ∂ Use this expression to evaluate Cp − CV for a perfect gas.
