B) Both values less than 1.0 indicating attractive forces between NH3 molecules dominating, causing
lower than ideal molar volumes. Since NH3 molecules hydrogen bond with each other, this behavior is not
unexpected, since a strong attractive force. Increasing pressure causes an increase in attractive forces
since number of collisions increases, making it more likely the molecules will aggregate or group

So 2(AW) X = 70.9, and AW gas X = 35.45, so gas is Cl2(g).

• Cannot cancel n and T, so must know T and number of moles to solve, and
• Must also know chemical identity of gas since need value of a, the Van der Waals constant
• Since these values not given, cannot solve for P1 if a Van der Waals gas.

acting as real gas in the tank, not an ideal gas.

The equation has the form of a quadratic equation: Ax2 + Bx + C = 0 where x =-B ± B2 - 4AC
2A
•
BUT the terms A, B and C would have units of pressure, so we must divide all terms in equation by
P BEFORE rearranging into quadratic so x = density in units of g/L and no units exist on either side of
the equation, which produces:

B) For the Virial equation use same approach as for Van der Waals equation to develop a unit-less
quadratic, with d in g/L. The coefficients differ in that the second virial coefficient, B, replaces “a” in C, in
the virial equation polynomial, the sign of the second term changes, and the 1.0 is subtracted.

• So Ptotal changes significantly since P CO2 is much smaller as a Van der Waals gas.
C) The partial pressure of Argon is unchanged, when treated as a van der Waals gas, since there are far
fewer moles of gas in the large volume (0.161 mol/L), compared to CO2(g) which has 2.16 mol/L.
Consequently, the corrections for “a” and “b” are much smaller so Ar acts as an ideal gas.

PART 2: FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS - Work (PV), heat, ∆U and ∆H
2.1 (1) Work done in STEPS where volume changes:
STEP 2:w = -PdV = -20atm ´ (12 - 4)L ´101.3 J
L-atm= -1.62X104 J = -16.2kJ
STEP 4: w = -PdV = -12atm ´ (24 -12)L ´101.3 J
L-atm= -1.46X104 J = -14.6kJ
Total work lost by system= -30.8 kJ

∆U = q + w = 0 → If isothermal heat flows in or out to compensate for work done, keeping T constant.

Assuming Cv constant T1 → T2: q = nCv∆T = 1mol ´ (12.472 J / mol - K) ´ (60K) = 748 J ∆U = q = 748 J
2.3 A) Isothermal, irreversible expansion (since against constant P) from 20L → 30 L, know work done

B) Since isothermal, qirrev = -wirrev to keep T the same, and ∆H = ∆U +∆(PV) = ∆U + nR(∆T)
so ∆U = 0, q = +5065.8 J = 5.06 kJ, and ∆H = 0 since ∆T =0

C) The difference of 5992-4329 J = 1663 J and can be explained by the definition of ∆H from H = U + PV
∆H = ∆U + ∆(PV) = ∆U + ∆(nRT) = ∆U + nR(∆T) and so∆H - ∆U = nR(∆T)
nR(∆T) = 2.0mol(8.314 J
mol-K)(373 - 273)K = 1663J
2.5 Since compression is done with a constant P, the work is irreversible work:

òPdV = -PV1

òdV = -P(V2
- V1) ´101.3 J
L-atm= -5.00atm(20 - 60)L ´101.3 J
L-atm= +2.062X104 J = +20.6kJ
Because the T must be kept the same, heat must flow out of system to compensate for work done on
system, q=-20.6 kJ so that ∆U = 0 = q + w and ∆H = 0 since ∆T =0.
2.6 A) The maximum amount of work lost would be through an isothermal reversible expansion, since
that is when the area under the curve would be a maximum.

2.11 A) (a) Reaction: C2H6(g) + 7/2 O2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(g) So ∆n=(5 - 4.5) = + 0.5 mol gas.
So the magnitude of reversible work is not significantly
different from the ideal gas value unless B is very large.

When the ∆n is positive, expansion must occur and will be against a constant P since the weight on the
piston exerts a constant force in Flask A. If you had chosen H2O(l) as product state, the opposite,
contraction occurs, since ∆n is negative. In either case, the piston moves.
(b) If ∆n is a positive value, expansion occurs, piston moves up. (If ∆n is a negative value contraction
occurs, piston moves down.)
(c) Know that Ptotal remains constant, so true that:

So since ntotal, prod ≠ ntotal, reactants T could stay constant (as well as P) ONLY as long as a compensating
volume change occurs.
B) Answers:
(a) In Flask B, the volume is fixed, so P must change when the combustion occurs, since ∆n not equal to
zero, if T constant. If choosing H2O(g) as product, ∆n (+) so P increases. If choosing H2O(l) as product,
∆n (-) so P decreases.
(b) In Flask A, heat flow is under constant P, so qp=∆H, but in Flask have constant V conditions so qV =
∆U. Since ∆H = ∆U + ∆(PV) = ∆U + ∆n(RT), the two terms cannot be equal if ∆n is not equal to zero. So
the heat flow cannot be the same.
C) ∆U is a state function and independent of pathway, so ∆U the same in both Flask A and B changes.
The work done in Flask A volume change will compensate for qP being larger than qV, so that ∆UA=qP +w
= ∆UA=qV.

Since solubility is 119 g NH4NO3 per 100 mL of water at 0°C, all of the solid would dissolve.
C) There are no gases involved in the reaction, so ∆n =0 and ∆H = ∆U. Can also assume the flexible
pouch will just change volume slightly to keep P the same for air trapped in pouch.
2.22 • Same P, T means the volume ratio equals the mole ratio of gases, so to volume % will need to
find moles of each gas in the mixture.

• The energy absorbed by heating the melted ice to 37°C decreases the amount of ice needed to
consume 500 Calories by about one-third. So it should not be neglected.
2.25 Have to three things consider:
The heat released will be dependent on the number of moles of Ca(OH)2 produced by the limiting
reactant, so a limiting reactant calculation must be done first.
The heat produced will be absorbed by the water and will change its T. The question then is ill it heat the
water enough to boil it?
(3) If it does boil, then how much of the liquid water will be converted to water vapor?

So 1.0 mol CaO will be limiting the amount of product reacted 1.00 mol Ca(OH)2 if completely reacted.
(That leaves 4.55 moles of H2O un-reacted to absorb the heat released as qgain.)
• We will need the ∆H for the reaction to calculate qlost.

mol-K(°C)( ) 100 - 26( )°C = 2.480X104 J = 28.4kJ
• So there is more than enough heat to bring all remaining water to 100°C.
The question now is how much water will be converted at 100°C by the remaining heat (66.0 - 28.4) =
37.6 kJ

So at the end of the reaction, there will be 0.924 mol of water as steam (H2O(g)), 3.526 mol of liquid
water and 1.0 mol of Ca(OH)2 all at 100°C.

• OH is already on correct side and has the needed coefficient so that reaction can be added as is.
• H is already on correct side but does not have the needed coefficient, so the third reaction will be

B) Reaction 1 and 2 represent one mole of a compound being formed from elements in their most
common state, so those reactions are formation reactions. However, reaction 3 and 4 describe breaking a
bond in a gaseous molecule so they are dissociation reactions and the enthalpy of reaction is equal to the
respective bond energies of H-H and O=O.

overall reaction sought, CS2 and S2Cl2, shows how 2 of the reactions - Reactions I and II- should be
added:
(2) From the sum CO2 and SO2 will need to be eliminated and CCl4 needs to be added.
• Could introduce CCl4 either by subtracting (reversing) Reaction VII or adding Reaction III. Using
Reaction VII would introduce 2 substances we could not get rid of, so must use reaction III.

D) Since bond energies are only defined for to gaseous molecules forming gaseous atoms, the inclusion
of H2O2 as an aqueous species and liquid water in the enzyme reaction would make the estimation of the
bond energy much more uncertain. More heat changes would have to be included in the pathway and the
conversion energy for H2O2 (aq) to H2O2(g) would be very difficult to estimate.

complete pathway.

C) The bond energies can’t account for interactions between molecules or atoms that affect ∆H. In this

This tells you that the assumption that bond energies can describe the change C(s, graphite → C(g) is
incorrect.
D) The calculated total change in bond energy for the reaction will not match the true ∆H for the reaction,
but we may get a reasonable approximation of the magnitude of the bond energy, using the pathways
with as many known ∆H’s as possible, so it can only be an estimate.
2.37 A) Cycle will involve the ∆Hf° KF(s), ∆Hf° K(g), First ionization energy (I.E.) of K, Bond energy of
F-F, Electron affinity (E.A.) for F(g) and the lattice energy for K+ and F- in KF(s).
B) Given:
∆Hf° K(g) = 89.24 kJ/mol
B.E. F-F = 159 kJ/mol

which is significantly different. So in this case, assuming Cp constant is NOT a good assumption for C(s).
The correction the q2 term affects ∆Hr markedly, so that:

and ∆Hr(1400°C) = -36.2- 27.35- 37.7+ 66.8é
ëùûkJ = -34.45kJ instead of -18.9 kJ.
So although most times assuming Cp is constant is a good approximation, it will not always be true and
the only way to evaluate is to know the proper function of Cp is for the T range applied to the reaction.
2.42 A) One major assumption will be to assume that you can use the solid state values for the ∆H’s to
calculate the ∆Hr° although the conversion likely takes place in solution phase. It is reasonable to expect
that any shift in the ∆H value for alanine and aspartic acid, due to changes in interactions between solute
and solvent, are similar and would cancel out.
Another assumption would be that the Cp’s stay constant from 25 to 50°C. It is unlikely that you easily
find data for the temperature dependence of alanine and aspartic acid, so that this assumption is
necessary.
B) You would need the enthalpies of formation of alanine(s), aspartic acid(s) and CO2(g) and their
respective Cp, 298 values. You would also need to use Hess’s law and the temperature dependence of ∆H
as:

• So for this reaction the ∆H for the reaction changes significantly with the T change, but then ∆Cp as well
as ∆T is much larger than in previous examples.

Since the tabled value is 37.99 kJ/mol, the method using the heats of formation of CH3OH in the two
states produces the better result. But the cyclic method produces a value that is only off by about 1.0 kJ
(an error of about 3.2%), so it is reasonably close.

B) The values for ∆Svap for CCl4 and H2S are very similar, even though their melting points are very
different. When boiling, all the attractive intermolecular forces have to be overcome to create the random
gaseous array. The forces in solid CCl4 would be London Dispersion forces (LDF), while H2S would have
dipolar intermolecular forces which are generally stronger attractive forces than LDF. CH4 would also only
have LDF like CCl4, but shows that much less order is destroyed when CH4 is converted to a gas. The
higher molar mass of CCl4 would increase the strength of the LDF forces, due to increased contact area
due to greater size.
C) Water has H-bonding forces that produce a very ordered system in liquid water. Therefore, the
entropy changes much more when all the H-bonding interactions are severed to produce the gas state.

D) If there are attractive or repulsive interactions among the gas particles, the volumes the gases occupy
at constant P (or pressures, if V constant) will be either lower or higher than expected. This should change
the volume (or pressure) ratio for before and after mixing, so ∆Smix should be affected, but probably only
slightly.

So even though the number of moles much smaller, the change in entropy per mol has nearly doubled in
(B) versus (A). So an important factor in the entropy of mixing is the mol fraction of each component.
Analysis: Know three things will happen the “hot” O2(g) mixed with cold Ar(g) that will affect ∆S:
(1) Gases will mix with a positive change in entropy that can be determined using ∆Smix equation. To
calculate ∆Smix will need no. moles each gas, and their mol fractions,

(2) The hotter gas (O2) will transfer heat to the cooler (Ar) gas until the T’s becomes the same. This will
produce an additional positive entropy change for Ar(g) and a negative change for O2(g). You can
determine the ∆S from the temperature change for each gas. To calculate ∆S for each due to T change
must first determine Tfinal for each gas using a –qlost = qgain approach and then use: ∆SO

= nCpO
2
lnT
final
Tini,O
2
and ∆SAr
= nCp Ar
lnT
final
Tini,Ar
. (Will need to look up for each gas.)
(3) As the O2 gas changes temperature it will change its volume, as will Ar(g), and the volume changes
will also affect entropy total for each gas. To calculate ∆S for each due to volume change, use:
∆S = nRlnV
2
V1
The three separate entropies can then be added to get the overall entropy change, since the entropy is a
state function, independent of how we get from the initial state to the final state.

• In an adiabatic reversible expansion or contraction of an ideal gas, the entropy change for the volume
change is offset by that for the T change, so that ∆S=0. If the T change and volume changes occur
irreversibly, then ∆S≈0. That is definitely the case here, with the ∆Soverall ≈ ∆Smix.

B) The ∆S values are very strongly affected by temperature.
C) The ∆S values for the denaturing of the proteins is in kilojoules per mol, while most phase transitions
values are quoted in joules per mol. So the changes for proteins are a thousand times larger than those
for small molecules. This is not surprising since the unfolding involves hundreds of atoms changing
positions. Once put on a per monomer unit scale, as in the previous problem, the values become
joule/mol on the same scale as other “fusion” transitions.

to 6 moles of gas and a solid (low disorder state) .

• So the reaction ∆S° is negative as expected and very large, indicating a major shift in the number of
microstates allowed each molecule.

maintaining about the same level of disorder.

• So although not zero, the ∆Sr° is small. A typical reaction ∆Sr° are in hundreds of joules per K.
3.22 A) Expect it will be positive and large since forming 3 moles of gases (high entropy state) from a
solid and liquid (low entropy states). The sign of the ∆H cannot be predicted as easily because ∆H
depends on the changes in chemical bond energies, as well as intermolecular interactions. These would
be very difficult to estimate without specific values. ∆S in contrast depends on the physical states of the
substances and number of their possible microstates, which are not as dependent on the interactions of
the atoms.

states of the reactants and products in the two reactions, rather than the T change. Reactions I and II

(b) Expected Set III to have the greatest ∆S since the ∆T for each block is the largest of the
combinations. This should result in the greatest change in thermal energy distribution in each block and
the calculations confirm this.
(c) Even though the ∆T for each block is the same in Set II as in Set I, the transfer occurs at higher initial
temperatures. The entropy change will not be as great at the higher temperature, since the molecules are
already in a more disordered state, then when they are at a lower starting temperature.
3.29 A) Processes you would need to consider:

• The gas will first cool and then condense, giving off heat.
• The heat will then be gained by the cool liquid bringing it to some higher T.
• Assume no heat loss to or gain from the surroundings: - q lost = q gained.
The key question is - how much heat would be needed to heat liquid up to boiling point (Green box 1)
and would that exceed or match the heat lost when the gas cooled (Red box 1) to the boiling point and
condensed into a liquid? (Red box 2). If the total needed exceeds the total of heat released (Red boxes,
Step 1 and 2), then the re-condensed liquid would have to cool into the liquid phase (Red box 3).

So the gas cooling isn’t enough heat lost. It provides only 2.61 kJ, leaving 6.63 kJ still needed. So now
must consider how much heat lost when gas condenses to liquid at 78.3°C:
Heat lost C2H5OH(g) → C2H5OH(l) @ 78.3°C

Since the cooler liquid only needs 9.24 kJ total to reach the boiling point, only 15.7% (the extra 6.63 kJ
needed/ 42 kJ) of the gaseous C2H5OH has to condense to bring liquid to the boiling point. The final state
is a combination of gas and liquid states in equilibrium at Tbp, 78.3°C (since liquid cannot be heated
higher than 78.3°C).

B) Then the melted ice at 0°C and warm water at 50.9°C will exchange heat
until they come to the same final T, which can be determined by:

So just condensing the steam does not provide

C) The two factors, the initial volumes and no. moles of each gas would produce different values for the
reversible work which depends on the ratio of V2/V1 and the value of n for each gas.
3.33 A) Since both liquid and solid C6H6 are in the tube removed from the ice bath, the two states must
be in equilibrium at the freezing point of C6H6.
B) For C6H6 the changes that will affect its entropy are:
(1) All of the C6H6 liquid is cooled from 24/5 °C to 5.6°C, but
(2) Only 73.3 mL (73.3%) freezes into solid at 5.6°C, but the solid does not have time to cool further.
For (1): ∆S for C6H6 liquid calculated from the T-dependence at constant P: ∆S(1)

C) Although the ice bath T doesn’t change, as long as both phases of water are still present, some ice
must have melted at 0°C, absorbing the heat lost by the benzene cooling and freezing. The ∆S for the
water is then due to this phase change, and we will have to calculate the moles of ice melted by applying
calorimetry.

D) We would expect the cooling and freezing of the benzene in the tube to be a spontaneous process,

E) If all the liquid completely froze and cooled to the bath temperature we should expect that:
(a) The ∆SC6H6 to become more negative, since more heat would be lost.
(b) The ∆Sice to increase, since more ice would melt and become more positive.
(c) The difference between (a) and (b) will still be positive, since this would still be a spontaneous
process.
(d) New values:
For C6H6: The value calculated for the liquid cooling ∆S(2) would stay the same, but the value for the
phase change would change and a third term ∆S(3) for cooling the solid must be added.

B) (a)

(b) CO2, b = 0.04267 L/mol and CCl4, b = 0.1281 L/mol
So
for gases with larger molar volume corrections, the ∆S is significantly different (about 9.5% higher). In
the smaller volume the attractive forces are creating fewer allowed microstates for the molecules, or we
can say there is less disorder in the initial, smaller volume, because attractive forces are stronger. In the
larger volume, the wider spaces between molecules produces less attraction.
3.35 A) for a reversible expansion or contraction
leads to:
and
B) (a)
(b)
(a) The ∆S values for CO2 and CCl4 as virial gases are lower than the ∆S calculated for the gases as an
ideal gas, which would be the same for CO2 and CCl4. The ∆S values for CO2 is only slightly lower,
indicating the attractive and repulsive forces have not altered the microstates allowed, so that gas is
close to acting ideally. But the value for CCl4 is dramatically lower, indicating the attractive forces must
be influencing the allowed states for the gas particles. The difference of ∆S from the ideal value is being
set by B, the second virial coefficient.
(b) The value of B takes into account both the “a” and “b” terms, so it may be reasonable to neglect them
both for CO2 but not for CCl4, since the Van der Waals gas and Virial gas results are so very different.
(c) The second virial coefficient B is very temperature dependent, whereas the van der Waals are not.

PART 4: Free Energy (∆G), Helmholtz energy (∆A) and Phase Equilibrium
4.1 A) (a) T1, T2 and T4 are single phases, only T3 represents a phase transition. The intersection
of gas and liquid lines at T2 has no meaning, since the solid has the lowest µ at that temperature.
(b) At T1 and T2 the solid is most stable and at T4 the gas state.
(c) Gas + solid are in equilibrium at T3 since µsolid = µgas.
B) At no T does the liquid represent the lowest µ, so that it is no transition to the liquid appears for
substance X. It will sublime before it melts.
4.2 A) Given a constant P, a chemical change will always be spontaneous when the entropy of the
change (is positive, remains constant, is negative) and the enthalpy (is positive, remains constant, is
negative) during the process.
The magnitude of ∆G will change with T but it will always be a negative value.
B) When P is increased on a pure substance, at constant T, the molar free energy, G , (increases,
remains constant, decreases).
Since dG

= V and the molar volume cannot be negative or zero, then G must increase with P for all
states.
C) When a sample of liquid is converted reversibly to its vapor at its normal boiling point. (q, w, ∆P, ∆V,
∆T, ∆U, ∆H, ∆S, ∆G, or none of these) is equal to zero for the system.
Since P is constant, ∆P =0 and since it is an equilibrium between two states, ∆G = 0.

C) % extra work =3080 - 2993

• So would get about 3.0% more work if chemical reaction was under constant volume conditions
4.9 A) Since the transformation starts at 13.2°C, that is when the two forms must be in equilibrium:
µa
= µb and can apply: ∆µ = ∆G = 0 =∆H – T∆S at 13.2°C (286.4K) so that:

286.4K= 7.81X10-3 kJ

∆µ = µb
- µa.

mol- 273.15K(0.00781 kJ

C) At T = 273K, if we assume ∆H and ∆S constant, then can apply: ∆µ = ∆G = ∆H – T∆S
Since the ∆µ is positive, µβ is larger than µα, which means µα has the lower value and is the
most stable state. Therefore Sn will spontaneously transform to the alpha form at 13.2°C.
D) We can apply the pressure dependence of dG (dµ) for solids to each phase and then get the difference
to define how a change in P will affect transition:
Since µa

= VadP and µ
b= dG
b= V

B) The ∆G for CH4 and C2H6 is the same since both are gases (so the same equation applies) and we have
the same number of moles of each. As long as gases are ideal, the change in ∆G with P is independent of
chemical identity and only depends on the number of moles of gas.
C) C6H6 is a liquid and cannot substitute Vgas for ∆Vm. We will need actual density of liquid so chemical
identity will affect the ∆G with P.

The ∆S° for the α → β transition in the fat involves about two-thirds of ∆S° for the melting, so the α → β
transition must involve a significant increase in disorder or freedom of movement for the chains.
(a) The α → β transition in Sn results in a ∆S° 4.67 kJ/K-mol, about 10 times the size of the ∆S° in the
fat. The transition in the fat involves a shift of the chains and a small compression, whereas many more
atoms have to change position in Sn, so it is consistent.

4.14 Transition: ∆Htr(-). ∆Str(-)
Because the signs of ∆H and ∆S are the same, the sign of ∆G depends
on the temperature at which the phase change takes place. At low
temperatures the 1st term dominates, and the conversion favors the
beta form. When T in increases, the 2nd term gets larger, until it
dominates. The changeover temperature will mark the highest
temperature at which the folded state would be spontaneously
produced, or favored [See diagram]. At this temperature, the two
states are equally probable and ∆G would equal zero. As T gets larger,
the resulting ∆G(+) means the alpha state is favored.

The ∆T would have been calculated as negative (-0.0884°C), saying the melting point was lowered. That
can’t be true since when P increases µ increases, and the intersection of µsolid with µliquid should have been
shifted up, not down. Furthermore the magnitude of ∆T is only 16.4% of what it should be,

B) The Tbp will increase if the pressure is increased (as expected, see “Key Points”).
C) Whenever T is used in an equation, it must be in Kelvin, since it is coming from the kinetic energy
contribution. Only ∆T can be in °C, since the amount of heat in a ∆T in °C is the same as that in the ∆T in
K.
D) Can see a remarkable difference, since a change in P of nearly 100 atm changes the melting point by
only about 0.5 K, whereas a 1.0 atm change will increase the boiling point by 28 K. The two factors that
could contribute would be that:
Converting densities:
• 1m3 = 1000 L
• 1 kg = 1000 g, so that:

So a DECREASE in molar volume

(1) The difference in using ∆Hvap versus ∆Hfus. Since ∆Hvap is always larger than ∆Hfus, this should actually
make dT/dP smaller, not larger as we see here.
(2) The difference between the molar volumes of gas and liquid is always much larger than that of the
solid and the liquid. This is the primary reason why the effect of a pressure increase is so much larger
when the transition involves a gas state.
4.18 A) Because boiling occurs when the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the external pressure,
lowering the P from 760 torr at sea level to 380 torr will cause the boiling point T to be lower than 100°C,
which is when the vapor pressure of water equals 1.0 atm.
B) The Clausius Clapeyron equation would apply, not the Clapeyron, since the approximation that ∆Vm ≈

4.20 • The situation describes a phase equilibrium between C6H6(l) and C6H6(g) at the normal boiling
point (P = 1 atm) and at a lower temperature.
A) The Clausius Clapeyron equation relates vapor pressure, ∆Hvap and T’s for the liquid gas
equilibrium.

4.21 A) To calculate work, decide whether reversible or irreversible work then need ∆Vvap:

work, w = -P∆Vvap
• ∆Vvap = Vgas-Vliquid ≈ Vgas and if ideal gas, Vgas
=nRT

w = -P∆V = -nRT = -1.0mol(8.314 J

∆U = q +w = 40.6kJ - 31.0kJ = 9.6kJ

• Because ∆Gvap has become positive, the conversion would be non-spontaneous at the higher P meaning
the liquid would be the stable state at higher P’s.
C) When P is lowered, the log of the fraction (P2/P1) will be negative, so ∆Gvap becomes negative and this
indicates a spontaneous conversion to gas at the lower P (since the gas has the lower chemical potential).

4.22 A) Reminder: Using a catalyst will not change the value of ∆G since ∆G is a state function and as
long as the initial and final states stay the same, ∆G does not change.
• Also assuming the state of pyruvate and acetaldehyde will not significantly affect ∆Gr° so can use the
solid values.

B) Le Chatelier’s Principle would say that an increase in pressure will cause the reaction to try to contract
and favor the side with the least number of moles of gas. Since the reactant side has fewer moles of gas,
an increase in P to 100 atm should cause the ratio of pyruvate to acetaldehyde to increase and the
amount of CO2(g) to decrease.

The increase in P to 100 atm has made the value of ∆G is less negative (spontaneous), meaning less CO2
will be made at the higher P and the ratio of pyruvate to acetaldehyde to increase,.

C) The vapor pressure decreases by about 10% when the new ∆Cp term adjusts the ∆Hvap so it is
significant. The effect is more pronounced because of the low ∆Hvap value. If it were in ten’s of kilojoules,
which is more normal, the change in ∆Hvap would have been much smaller and could be neglected.

4.31 A) Region would be P ranges 5.12 → 72 atm, and T range is

B) T must be above 31.2°C and P to be in supercritical region,
“B” on diagram.
C) Must be at the Triple point: P = 5.11 atm T = -56.4 °C, point
“C” on diagram.

B) Starting with an equilibrium between the two solid phases (rhombic, monoclinic) and must change
both P and T to maintain equilibrium (saying there is only one degree of freedom).
C) Increasing T but keeping P constant, D → J → L.
Point D Observe all solid, but would be equilibrium of the two crystalline forms,
monoclinic and rhombic.
Point J Increased T, only some of the solid will have melted to produce liquid, and have equilibrium between monoclinic solid form and liquid.
Point L All solid would be melted and would have liquid in equilibrium with gas.
D) Decreasing P holding T constant, A → D → E → F.
At Point A At Point D
µ(monoclinic) > µ (rhombic)
So only rhombic form stable since it has lower µ value.
µ (monoclinic) = µ (rhombic)
µ (monoclinic) decreased with P decrease so both crystalline forms are stable and coexist.
At Point E At Point F
µ(monoclinic) < µ (rhombic)
Decreased P has decreased µ monoclinic further so that complete conversion from rhombic form has occurred.
µ (monoclinic) = µ (gas)
µ (monoclinic) has decreased with P so that gas state has same potential as the solid. The monoclinic form produces its vapor pressure.
E) Point C at 95.4 °C meets the criteria of a triple point in that there are three phases in equilibrium, with
the two crystalline forms in equilibrium with the gas phase, so that µ(monoclinic) = µ(rhombic) = µ(gas).
It is also the lowest temperature at which the rhombic form spontaneously converts to the monoclinic

F) Point L at 445°C is when µ(liquid) = µ(gas) at 1.0 atm so it would be considered the normal boiling

4.34 A) Sketch of diagram should look something like that given below:
4.35 A) False
Don’t need equal amounts of the two phases, just that the chemical potentials are the same. The key
factors were ∆Sm and ∆Vm, as you can see from the map.
B) True
If heating ∆Str would be (+) but if cooling ∆Str would be (-). ∆Gtr would be 0, but not ∆Str since there is
no instance where ∆Htr ÷ T =0.
C) False
The Clapeyron equation applies to the solid liquid transition, not Clausius Clapeyron. The Clausius
Clapeyron only applies to a phase transition involving a gas as the final or initial state.

4.36 A) This equilibrium line is described by the Clapeyron equation where dP/dT = group of constants,
so it is a linear equation. Whether the slope is positive or negative depends on the sign of ∆Vm = Vm,liquid -
Vm,solid which in turn is set by the relative densities of the two states.
B) Since Vm,gas >> Vm,liquid , ∆Vm = Vm,liquid - Vm,solid is always positive so the slopes are positive. The
lines follow the Clausius Clapeyron equation, so the equilibrium line is a log function, and the slope is not
equal to a group of constants and changes value as T changes.
C) The chemical potentials must be equal.
D) (a) It is the triple point. (b) The chemical potentials of the 3 phases must be equal.
(c) Because you cannot change either P or T and maintain the three way equilibrium. Even if you changed
them both, you could not replicate the equilibrium so there is only one possible combination of P and T
for the triple point.
4.37 A) (a) It is also consistently greater than 1.0, like Z.
(b) Yes, the fugacity coefficient is less than 1.0 for CO2 at the pressures shown. The crossover to the
values greater than 1.0 can’t be seen on the fugacity graph since it does not go to as high enough
pressures, but it would likely show the same behavior.
B) The trend for N2 and H2 similar since they are both small molecules with very weak attractive forces
between the molecules. However, both CO2 and NH3 are larger molecules with polar bonds. NH3 has a
permanent dipole, resulting in strong attractive forces. (The H-bonding may also play a role, but that
requires more organization between the gaseous molecules.) CO2 does not have a permanent dipole, but
has temporary dipoles and a shape that would allow the molecules to cluster. So it has the potential for
attractive forces being stronger than the repulsive forces even at low pressures.
C) ∆µ would be positive when Φ is greater than 1.0 since ln Φ would be positive. Similarly, ∆µ would be
negative when Φ is less than 1.0 since ln Φ would be negative.
4.38 A) f = f ´ P = (e-0.03379)(20.0atm) = 0.9668(20.0atm) = 19.3atm which is a 3.5% decrease

C) (a) Both equations produce the same values at 300 K, and very close values for the fugacity at 150°C,
but not ∆µ. But at 25°C the result for the virial equation is twice that of the Van der Waals value for ∆µ

and the fugacities are not that close. They definitely both agree on the sign of ln Φ and the ∆µ value at all
three temperatures. At all three temperatures, µreal is less than µideal.
(b) ∆µ is decreasing as T is increased indicating that at some higher T, the repulsive forces will be
countered balancing the attractive forces (discussed earlier as the Boyle T).
(c) As T increases, NH3 is becoming
more like an ideal gas.
4.40 A) If B is negative, then the
result of the integral will be
negative, meaning Φ will be less
than 1.0 and the effective pressure
will be less than the expected ideal
gas pressure. When it becomes
positive (350K and above) the real
pressure will exceed the ideal gas
pressure.
B) Calculated results: (see table)
C) (a) The ∆µ values are getting
smaller as the P is lowered. (See
table)
(b)
(c) The T regions where the attractive and repulsive forces dominate definitely change with P.
T P = 100 atm P = 20 atm P = 2.0 atm

273 K Attractive forces Attractive forces Neither dominating
350 K Attractive forces Neither dominating Neither dominating
450 K Repulsive forces Repulsive forces Neither dominating
550 K Repulsive forces Repulsive forces Neither dominating
(d) Yes, the behavior observed with the P decrease fits the figure shown. However, depending on the
temperature, when pressure is constant, the µreal could also be greater than, equal to or less than µideal,
for a range of temperatures. So a plot of µ versus T(K) would look somewhat the same as the µ versus P
plot, except the µreal > µideal values will appear at low temperatures, whereas they should appear at
higher pressures as in the figure shown. Increasing T increases kinetic energy and makes it harder for the
molecules to cluster.
P µreal > µideal µreal < µideal µreal = µideal

5.7 A) Water is the solvent and at χB = ≈ 0.30 there are 7 water molecules for every 3 CH3OH
molecules. The contraction occurs because the methyl group of CH3OH cannot H-bond so it is disrupting
water’s organization. The water molecules have multiple H-bonding sites and small size, so is highly
structured and CH3OH is causing that structure to partially collapse on itself.

Which agree well with red circle values on the second graph.
5.8 A) (a) The solution is contracting since negative molar volume changes are observed throughout
all the mole fractions measured.
(b) Expect that since both water (H2O) and isopropanol (CH3CHOHCH3) have H-bonding as intermolecular
forces, the A···B interactions would be similar in strength to A···A and B···B interactions and the two
substances should form a mixture. The ∆Gmix overall should then be negative so that mixing is
spontaneous.
(c) Since the isopropanol has only one OH group centered between bulky methyl groups, the H-bonding
network in water is being disrupted by the alcohol molecules (as in the CH3OH and C2H5OH mixtures
shown previously). Then as the mole fraction of the alcohol increases, the water molecules between the
alcohol molecules allow them to be closer together than they would be in pure isopropanol.

B) (a) Only from about 0.0 to 0.1 (b) No mol fraction at which it exceeds its pure molar volume
C) (a) Expected A···B would be H-bonding since both water and ethanol can H-bond.
(b) No, we would expect H-bonding throughout.
D) The partial molar volumes show that water’s network has
expanded, and ethanol’s collapsed into much lower volume, so it is
likely the waters are staying connected, but expanding the network
to include the CH3CH2OH molecule, as shown in the figure. But as
the number of molecules of ethanol increases, the original water
network cannot accommodate replacing a water molecule with 4
binding sites with ethanol that only has two H-bonding sites.
Consequently, the H-bonding network of water collapses and
decreases the partial molar volume.
5.10 A) • First calculate moles of ethanol needed, then use pure molar volume to get volume needed.

C) Yes, the graph shows a molar excess volume close to -1.1 cm3/mol at χC2H6O = 0.400.

marking lower than what you expected for an ideal solution.

• Actual density is slightly greater at 0.7851 g/cm3
(b) Solution has contracted, since there is more mass per unit volume than expected.
(c) The solution is very near ideal at this composition since the contraction is very small. Both molecules
have LDF interactions between the methyl groups in the pure state as well as one OH group for H-
bonding so forces very similar in both so the solution is very close to ideal. The different shapes of the
molecules is probably causing the “normal” H-bonding and LDF networks in the pure liquids to be
disrupted slightly are the two alcohols are mixed.
5.12 A) (a) H-bonding (b) Dipolar forces
(c) Dipolar forces, unless the waters molecules H-bond to the O in the C=O bond.
B) (a) It is contracting, so Vsoln < Videal at all mole fractions of acetone.
(b) cacetone
= 0.400so there are 6 molecules of H2O for every 4 molecules of (CH3)2CO (or 3:2)
C) (a) water (b) At about 0.20
(c) That the acetone···water interactions are stronger than the forces in pure
water, so energy is released. It is consistent with some form of a H-bonded
complex cluster (such as that in figure on the right) occurring between water and
acetone when the mole fraction of acetone is low.
D) (a) acetone
(b) That the acetone···water interactions are weaker than the forces in pure
acetone so acetone largely interacts with itself in the solution arrangements. This is
consistent since if you need more water molecules than acetone to form the cluster and at high mole
fraction acetone, there are too few waters to form the cluster.
5.13 A) (a) Dipolar forces in pure chloroform (b) Dipolar forces in pure acetone
B) (a) It is less than the ideal volume up to about cacetone
» 0.7 (contracts), then the volume of solution
becomes greater than ideal (expands).

(b) The maximum occurs near cacetone

acetone molecules.
C) (a) When the ratio is about 1:1 or cacetone
» 0.5 .
(b) The chloroform-acetone interaction is stronger than those in either pure chloroform or acetone.
D) (a) Since H-bonding interactions are stronger than dipolar forces, energy would be released and
produce the exothermic ∆Hmix values, if they are being formed in the solution. The maximum loss should
appear at a molar ratio of 1:1 and the data indicates that.
(b) It would be very unusual since H’s bonded to carbon do not participate in H-bonding. Only H’s bonded
to O or N are generally involved, so this would be a unique situation.

B) Rearrange definition of GE: GE = ∆Gsoln

Mixture I (CHCl3/C6H14) III ((CH3)2CO / CHCl3) IV (C2H5OH/ C6H14)

∆Gsoln (J/mol) 250 – 1861 = -1611 -500 – 1861 = -2361 1500 – 1861 = -361
(b) In all cases, the ∆Gsoln is negative, so a solution will form. But the C2H5OH/ C6H14 is the least
spontaneous and at -0.4 kJ/mol of mixture, is much less than the ideal value of 1.86 kJ/mol.
C) Considering each comparison:
Compare: Trends in HE Forces between A···B Trends in SE
(a)
I
CHCl3/

and

Both mixtures show

for HE.
In I: The maximum
is lower at 750 J/mol
at cCHCl
3
= 0.50.
In IV: The maximum
occurs earlier at
cC
2H
5OH
= 0.25 and is
about 1000 J/mol
In I: The HE indicates A···B is
weaker, so the interaction
between them likely dipole-
induced dipole, so energy has
added to overcome the dipolar
forces in CHCl3
In IV: The endothermic HE
indicates the interaction A···B is
weaker than the H-bonding in
C2H5OH. So more energy has to
be added to overcome the H-
bonding and which is consistent
with the higher value of HE.
In I: The SE is positive,
disorder increases with mole
fraction of CHCl3 and the
maximum occurs at 1:1
composition, as in ideal
solution. So molecules are
staying independent.
In IV the situation is very
different: The SE is first
positive, (disorder increases) at
low mole fraction C2H5OH, but
then it becomes negative
indicating some H-bonding
network is returning as the
number of C2H5OH molecules
increases.
(b)
II
(CH3)2CO/

and
III
(CH3)2CO/
CHCl3
In II, HE is
endothermic all mole
fractions of (CH3)2CO.
In III, HE is
exothermic at all
mole fractions of
(CH3)2CO.
In II: The endothermic HE with
1:1 as the maximum suggest no
clustering is occurring, so the
interaction for CH3OH-(CH3)2CO
are likely just dipolar. (as seen
in V)
In III: Pure (CH3)2CO forms a
complex with CHCl3 as discussed
in 5.12. So although the C=O
can H-bond with the H on CHCl3,
it does not H-bond with the OH
group in CH3OH.
In II: The SE is positive all
mole fractions of acetone, the
solvent and solute interactions
are being disrupted as
expected and no clustering
occurring.
In III: The SE is negative, and
maximum order occurs at 1:1
composition, which is
consistent with a 1:1 complex
formation.

The two mixtures clearly represent opposite situations for acetone as the solute, which is
why the properties of the mixture can be measured but not easily predicted.
(c)
V
C2H5OH/
CHCl3
and
VI
C2H5OH/
H2O
In V, HE is
endothermic at low
mole fractions and
exothermic at high
mole fractions of
C2H5OH.
In VI, HE also shows
two regions. It is
exothermic at up to
about 0.5 mole
fraction of C2H5OH
and close to zero
from 0.5 to 1.0 mole
fraction.
In V: Pure C2H5OH has H-
bonding and CHCl3 has dipolar
forces. The endothermic HE
suggests that when CHCl3 is the
solvent, the C2H5OH-CHCl3
interactions are weaker, as
would be expected since dipolar
interactions are likely. But when
C2H5OH outnumbers CHCl3 some
clustering may occur producing
the exothermic HE.
In VI: Both C2H5OH and H2O
have H-bonding forces in their
pure states. The exothermic HE
indicates that some clustering
occurs when H2O outnumbers
C2H5OH, but they mix with no
extra energy needed or released
when the C2H5OH to H2O ratio
exceeds 1:1 where HE is zero.
In V: The excess entropy
shows two regions. Initially the
entropy increases as C2H5OH
added to CHCl3, consistent with
no clustering, but then changes
to negative values at higher
mole fractions of C2H5OH, This
is consistent with some
clustering when C2H5OH
outnumbers CHCl3.
In VI: The excess entropy is
negative at all mole fraction of
C2H5OH so more ordering is
occurring in the solution than is
the pure states. This would be
consistent with clustering
occurring between C2H5OH and
H2O.
5.15 A) For the acetone, (CH3)2CO /H2O mixture: As the temperature is increased, HE becomes less
endothermic at low mole fraction of acetone and more exothermic at higher mole fractions. The transition
occurs at lower values of mole fractions at higher temperature.
For the acetonitrile, CH3CN /H2O mixture: As the temperature is increased, HE becomes more
endothermic. Both changes are consistent with a positive term being added to HE as the T is increased.

5.18 A) Both molecules have the same basic shape (tetrahedral) and similar size so that the contact
area (which affects LDF) should be about the same. CHCl3 is weakly polar, whereas CCl4 is non-polar, but
expect A···B as an LDF would be very close in strength to the forces with the pure components.
B) • Use the liquid composition and Raoult’s Law to get partial pressure for each component, Ptotal and
then calculate the mole fractions in vapor. Given: PCHCl

Since mole ratio in liquid is 2 mols CHCl3:1 mol CCl4 so that cCHCl

C) The molar ratio in vapor is 0.777 CHCl3:0.223 CCl4 = 3.5:1.0 or 7 mol CHCl3 for every 2 mol CCl4
which is much higher than the 2:1 ratio in the liquid. So the vapor is much “richer” in CHCl3.
D) For the mixture to boil, Ptotal must equal atmospheric pressure, so the atmospheric pressure would
have to be lowered to 22.79 kPa or 171 torr.

D) For two reasons:

(1) The difference between the pure vapor pressures is decreasing. [As can be seen on the graph at mol
fractions 0 and 1.0].
(2) As T is increased the vapor phase becomes “richer” in the more volatile component and the curves
are separated more. [As can be seen by the difference between the values in (D)].
5.25 A) Raoult’s Law diagram: B) Answers:
(a) Positive deviations
(b) CHCl3 shows much greater positive deviations than
ethanol. That the Ethanol - CHCl3 forces are much weaker
than the pure ethanol forces, or CHCl3 forces, since CHCl3
escapes much more easily from the mixture than what we
would expect (ideal value) if it experiences the same
forces.
(c) The activity coefficient (ϒ) is always greater than 1.0
since Pobs, CHCl3 > Pideal, CHCl3 at all mole fractions.
(d) The value for ϒ C2H5OH would be close to 1.0 from χ
CHCl3 = 0 → 0.4 but will be greater than 1.0 at higher
mole fractions CHCl3.
5.26 A) Yes, positive deviations indicate the A···B interactions are weaker than what the pure liquids
have and that should indicate a positive value for GE, so it is consistent.
B) The log of the activity coefficient for ethanol starts out above 1.0, but then drops to lower values
indicating the interactions of ethanol and CHCl3 molecules start out very weak. It takes added energy to
replace the ethanol H-bonds with the dipolar ethanol-CHCl3 interactions and HE is endothermic. However,
as ethanol’s mole fraction increases ethanol can reestablish H-bonding and the HE becomes exothermic.
C) The activity coefficient for CHCl3 quickly increases and doesn’t show a region where it is close to 1.0,
where the log ϒ would be zero. That correlates to the deviations seen on the Raoult’s Law diagram at
nearly all mole fractions.
5.27 A) Yes, it has an azeotrope. The plot shows a minimum Tbp for the mixture, below either of the
boiling points of the pure components. If the deviations from Raoult’s Law are positive, then a minimum
boiling temperature will be observed so the T-xy plot shows the expected behavior.
B) Because the highest vapor pressure will produce the lowest boiling point for the mixture.
C) Yes, it does. The equality occurs at ≈ 0.85 mol fraction CHCl3.
D) (a) χ CHCl3 = 0.40, y CHCl3 = 0.60.

5.28 A) Positive deviations and would expect only LDF forces between acetone and cyclohexane, since

5.29 A) Raoult’s law Diagram on the right.
B) Since both molecules are polar, A···B should be dipolar
forces. A···B must be a slightly weaker interaction since the
positive deviations are small but do occur.
C) (a) Plot the partial pressure of iodoethane versus mole
fraction iodoethane for the Henry’s Law region (first 5
values).
Then use the equation for the line to get the value of y where it crosses the line at mol fraction C2H5I
equal to 1.0, so that KH = 449 torr for C2H5I.
(b) Calculate the mole fraction of C4H8O2 in the Henry’s
Law region for ethylacetate (χ C2H5I = 0.65 → 0.0) and
plot versus partial pressure of ethyl acetate. Then use
the same approach as in (a) to get KH= 337 torr for
C4H8O2.

5.31 A) (a) Yes, the deviations are consistent since the excess properties HE and GE had indicated the
A···B forces were stronger than those in pure acetone or CHCl3. There is nothing to indicate in the
Raoult’s law diagram that a complex is being formed. We need properties like the excess thermodynamic
properties to substantiate that.
(b) The activity coefficient, measured by the separation of the ideal partial pressure and actual partial
pressure seems to occur at χ CHCl3 = 0.60, where it is approximately 0.78.
(c) It is approximately 21 kPa.
B) (a) Yes, there should be a maximum boiling point since the deviations are negative from Raoult’s Law.
(b) χ CHCl3 = 0.60 (c) χ CHCl3 = 0.25, y CHCl3 = 0.20
5.32 A) (a) Since the ln ϒ values are positive, the activity coefficients are greater than 1.0, so positive

(c) Pure C2H5OH would have H-bonding forces whereas DIPE, (CH3)2COC(CH3)2, will have dipolar forces, but
not H-bonding. The A···B forces will then be largely dipolar, which is weaker than the H-bonding between
C2H5OH molecules.
B) (a) Yes, it will. (The relationship is illustrated in Problem 5.27)
(b) It will be a minimum Tbp since the deviations are positive (opposite behavior than the P-xy graph).
(c) It will occur at cC

C) (a) Worked out answers:
(b) Yes the sign for GE mixture
is positive throughout all mole fractions. This is what we would expect, that overall energy must be added
to sever the stronger forces in the pure components to form the weaker interaction between ethanol and
DIPE based on the thermodynamics of the interactions, and since the observed deviations are positive.

Once we have the pure vapor pressure at 25°C, we can

The calculated KH is greater than the pure vapor pressure (187 torr) for Br2 which is consistent with
positive deviations from Raoult’s Law.
5.34 A) • Must first calculate ideal values for the partial pressure and then compare the observed
partial pressure to the ideal value

B) Positive deviations are occurring since the activity coefficients are greater than 1.0.
C) (a) Plot shown on right:
(b) The plot shows is very similar to that for di-isopropyl ether
mixed with ethanol in Problem 5.32. Since both are
ether/alcohol mixtures, we could expect that the disruptions
caused by the formation of A···B would be very similar,
since the H-bonding of the alcohol is most affected.
(c) Since the logs of the activity coefficients are nearly the
same at Χ = 0.50 we would expect they both contribute about
one-hallf of the GE for the mixture.
D) Calculated values for (a) and (b):
(c) The two components will spontaneously mix at all mole fractions. The least spontaneous is a small
amount of methanol is being added to the ether.
5.35 A) No azeotrope is visible so it is called a “zeotropic” diagram.
B)
Point A Point B Point C Point D Only vapor mixture
present (single phase) y hexane ≈ 0.45
Liquid + vapor phases in
equilibrium χ hexane = 0.20 y hexane = 0.75
Liquid + vapor phases in
equilibrium χ hexane = 0.30 y hexane = 0.30
Liquid mixture only
(single phase) χ hexane = 0.68
C) The vapor pressure of hexane is much higher than that of m-xylene, indicating it has much weaker
forces to overcome, so that unless it has a very small mole fraction it is always going to produce a higher
proportion of the total pressure over the solution.
D) It would not be very easy to predict what the ideal boiling point should be for each mixture, to gauge
the deviation, since both components are volatile and contribute to the total vapor pressure, so the P-xy
graphs are generally used for that determination.

5.43 A) Since the constants depend on different properties of A, they would not be equal. The value for
Kf for A depends on the normal freezing point of pure A, the ∆Hfus and its molecular weight, while Kb
depends on the normal boiling point of pure A, its ∆Hvap and also the molecular weight of A.
B) The Kf is always larger than Kb for the same solvent since although the boiling point is a higher
temperature than the freezing point, the division by the much larger ∆Hvap should makes the Kb a smaller
value.

C) If urea forms dimers then the effective number of particles decreases which would produce lower
values for the boiling point elevation and in osmosis. The most noticeable change of a small decrease in
moles will be the change in the osmotic pressure, i.e. if molarity lowered to 2.89 mol/L osmotic pressure
becomes 70.7 atm versus a boiling point of 101.5 °C.

Since the D5W concentration of solute is lower than 0.30 M, water would flow into the cell because cH

(b) No, it is decreasing with increasing solute concentration as would be expected.
B) Because the value of γ is less than 1.0, the ln(γ) is negative and we would expect HE for the mixing to
be exothermic. It also indicates the raffinose ··· water interactions are stronger than in water, indicating
some clustering of water and the saccharide is likely occurring.

B) The value for activity coefficient for water is greater than 1.0 instead of being less than 1.0 as it was in
the other problems.
C) Yes, even though the solutes are non-volatile, it is the strength of the A···B interactions and the
possible clustering and grouping of molecules, as we saw earlier, that can affect vapor pressure and
produce both values of activity coefficient that are higher than one or less than one. The colligative
properties should also reflect what is going on between the molecules in solution.

B) All interactions between water and the solutes are H-bonding, but urea has a flat planar structure with
many H-bonding sites compared to ethylene glycol or propanol, creating clustering within the solution.
Ethylene glycol appears to increase the number of free water molecules (as did lactose, another “polyol”)
so it may be disrupting the normal H-bonding arrangements in water.

C) p-Dichlorobenzene is a non-polar molecule (since Cl’s opposite each other on the ring) with strong LDF
forces, largely due to the aromatic ring. Hexane is also non-polar, but its LDF forces would be much
weaker, so that A···B forces are weaker than B···B and they don’t mix as well and do not form an ideal
solution.

B) Have to define the equilibrium pressures and relate to Ptotal, so best to use the iCe table approach to
organize information.
Given the equilibrium ratio between NO and NO2, can solve for the equilibrium P
of NO2 as
@700 K: x
PNO2,eq
= 0.872 Þ P NO2,eq
=x
0.872= 1.15x
Then get value of “x” from Ptotal equation: Ptotal
= 1.0atm = 2.65x Þ x =1
2.65= 0.377atm
So P NO2 = 1.15(0.377) atm = 0.4336 atm, P O2 = 0.5(0.377) = 0.189 atm at equilibrium at 700 K

1.90= 0.526atm
Thermodynamics Problem Solving in Physical Chemistry – Full Solutions

So P NO2 = 0.400(0.526) atm = 0.2105 atm, P O2 = 0.5(0.526)=0.283 atm at equilibrium at 800K

C) Expect that if K when T , then ∆H°(+). Would expect ∆S°(+) as well since total number moles of
gas greater on product side than reactant side. That means ∆G° can change sign with T, since signs of
∆H° and ∆S° are the same. The reaction should become spontaneous at high T’s.

Doesn’t make a difference in value of KP since the conversion factors cancel, since ∆n gases equals zero

From equation for the line:

Then:∆G° = -RT lnK = -8.314J

lowered in concentration, not increased.

As the ionic strength increases, the ratio of activity coefficients will get smaller since there are two ions
terms in the denominator, but only one in the numerator. So assuming the activities are close in value,
the effective ratio is 1/γ and gets larger as I increases, since γ will get smaller. Consequently, Q which
equals the ratio of complex to the ions should get smaller as I increases, so that the K stays the same.

Cathode: Hg2SO4(s) + 2e- → 2 Hg(l) + SO4-2 E° = 0.6125 V

C) The literature value of 6.5 X10-7 is quite close to the calculated value. A difference of a few hundredths
of a volt in the ∆E° could account for the difference.
6.26 A) Need the formation reaction: Hg+2 + 4 CN- Hg(CN)4-2
• Reverse the first half reaction and add it to the second half reaction, so that:
Cathode: Hg+2 + 2e- → Hg(l) E° = 0.86 V
Anode: Hg(l) + 4 CN- → Hg(CN)4-2 + 2e- E° = -0.37 V

(b) The ∆E would be the same because the ratio Q would have the same value, if 50% conversion occurs,
independent of the starting concentration.
D) As long as the same concentration of HCl is added to both cells, the voltage should not change.

(b) They agree very well 6.6 X 1014 versus 6.74 X 1014 from ∆E’°.
C) K’ is 7.33 times larger at I = 0 than at I =0.10, while K’ is 13.8 times larger at I = 0 than at I = 0.25,
so K is decreasing as ionic strength increases in this reaction.

D) Since in this cell ∆H°(+) and ∆S°(+), then ∆G° will change sign with
T, as will ∆E°. It should spontaneous at higher T’s, non-spontaneous at
lower T’s. Since the ∆E° is positive we are above the changeover
temperature at 298K.

B) Plot of ∆E° versus T(K) and C) Plot of lnk versus 1/T(K)
B) The plot of ∆E° versus T(K) is linear, so ∆S° is
constant over the T range. The value of ∆S° is:

D) There is excellent agreement between the values of ∆H calculated from each ∆E° using the equation
and the plot. They differ only by hundredths of a kilojoule.

Kdissociation
=[H+][Br -]
[HBr]
B) (a) Calculated results for ∆G°:
(b) As T increases, ∆G° for the dissociation decreases indicating the dissociation is less spontaneous at
the higher T’s. This indicates the sign of ∆H is negative for the dissociation.
(c) When the % ethanol increases, the ∆G° decreases indicating the change in solvent is impeding the
dissociation. So the dielectric strength of the solvents
is affecting the dissociation of the acid. In addition the
activity effects in the binary mixture discussed earlier in Part
5 (page 45, 47), may also be playing a role in impeding the
dissociation.
C) (a) Calculated results
for Kc for the dissociation:
(b) In pure water, the K values, although greater than 1.0, decrease
dramatically as T increases. The same trend is observed in the other
two solvents. The ratio of the greatest value of Kdiss to the least is about
3 in each solvent. This would indicate that the ∆H are similar for each solvent.
D) Plot of data for ∆S°:
(a) The results are not linear equations, but would be
polynomials in T. So ∆S° is not staying constant over the T range
studied.

• The estimated ∆S° values change over the T regions,
becoming more negative at the higher T’s, with some exceptions
for parts of the 20% and 50% ethanol data. From the graph, one
can observe that the 50% ethanol produces larger shifts in ∆S°
as the T is increased and that is also shown in the estimated
values. Considering the interactions of ethanol and water are
quite strong in this weight % region (50% ethanol by mass =
mol fraction of 0.28 for ethanol), it is not surprising the entropy
for the dissociation of the ions is being affected.

6.50 A) Results of the calculations:
B) For BaBr2, both the Debye-Huckel and
Davies equation predict well up to 0.010 M.
After that the equations do not predict well.
Although not equal, the mean ionic activity
is close to the measured value at 0.10 m,
for both equations.
For CsF, both equations predict well up to
0.10m and then Davies equation result is
higher than actual for 0.10m and the
Debye-Huckel lower, they are both close to
the actual value. Above 0.50 m the Debye-
Huckel equation predicts higher than actual
values of the coefficient, and the results of the Davies equation are even higher.

This seeming high value for the coefficient is possible. Many salts such as CaCl2 and BaCl2 can show mean
activity coefficients greater than 1.0 in high ionic strength solutions. Since this a saturated solution, the
ionic strength would be relatively high, and the interactions are very strong at this temperature.
