Chapter 6, Problem 6.55E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason as why it is impossible to get a mathematical solution for a single-component system containing four phases in equilibrium is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The chemical potential is the energy absorbed or released in a chemical reaction or in phase transition. It is a form of potential energy and also called as partial molar free energy. It is the function of pressure and temperature. The degree of freedom is the parameter that defines a system. It cannot be negative or zero

4. Consider a binary alloy of A atoms and B atoms that can exist in a solid phase or a liquid phase. This alloy can also exist in TWO DIFFERENT PHASES SIMULTANEOUSLY: solid and liquid. The system is composed of one mole of atoms, some of which are A atoms and some of which are B atoms. Take GA and GB as the molar Gibbs free energy of pure A and pure B respectively. XA and XB are the molar fractions of A and B atoms respectively. The atoms crystallize in identical crystal structures when they are solid.                                                                       (d) Consider the circumstance where the solid and the liquid co-exist. (i) Draw schematically the molar Gibbs free energy of the solid and the molar Gibbs free energy of the liquid for this phase. Label on the y-axis a point (XB) that is in the mixed solid and liquid state. (ii) At the composition XB, label with number 1 the Gibbs free energy of the liquid state, with number 2 the Gibbs free energy of the solid state…
1.1 mole of O₂ (g) and 2.2 moles of N₂ (g) are spontaneously mixed in a cylinder (volume = 30.0 L) with a movable piston. Assume both gases are ideal. (a) Explain why the mixing of O₂ and N₂ gases is spontaneous in term of chemical potential. (b) Calculate the final pressure (in N m2) of mixture when (i) the mixing occurs isothermally at 298 K; (ii) the initial temperatures of O₂ (g) and N₂ (g) are 306 K and 367 K, respectively, and after mixing, the temperature is equilibrated. State any assumption(s) in your calculations. (c) ) Now, the mixture in (b)(ii) is expanded isothermally and the external pressure is suddenly decreased to a final pressure of 890 Torr, determine whether the process is reversible or not.
How much energy (at constant temperature and pressure) must be supplied as heat to 10.0 g of chlorine gas (as Cl2) to produce a plasma composed of Cl- and Cl+ ions? The enthalpy of ionization of Cl(g) is +12575 kJ mol-1 and its electron gain enthalpy is -349 kJ mol-1. Hence identify the standardenthalpy of ionization of Cl- (g).
