    Note: Attempt all questions. Draw the sketches neatly. Physical data, steam table, etc. are
    allowed. Assume suitable data, if required.

    Q1 Ethanol (1)/ benzene (2) system forms an azeotrope with 44.8 mol % ethanol
    with a boiling point of 68.24 C at 760 Torr. The saturation pressures of ethanol
    (1) and benzene (2) at 68.24 C are 506 Torr and 517 Torr, respectively. 5+5=10
    Estimate the van Laar constants for the system and evaluate the activity
    coefficients for a solution containing 10 mol% ethanol.

    Q2. An experimental determination of vapour liquid equilibrium state of ether (1) and
    acetone (2) binary system gave the following result:
    x1= 0.3, yi = 0.3, T = 40C, and P= 105 Pa. The saturation vapour pressures of
    5+3=8
    the pure components at 40C are ether (1) = 1.21x105 Pa; acetone (2) =
    0.56x105 Pa.
    (i) Calculate the liquid phase activities coefficients.
    (ii) What is the value of excess Gibbs free energy GI' for the liquid phase?
    T

    Q3. Develop expression for the mole fraction of reacting species as function cf the
    reaction coordinate for a system initially containing 2 mol NH3 and 5 mol 02 and 5
    undergoing the reaction:
    4NH3 (g) + 502 (g) 4NO (g) + 6H20 (g)

    Q4. Derive and calculate the fugacity of CO2 gas at 100 atm pressure and 75C
    assuming that the gas obeys van der Waals equation of state. The constants 5+2=7
    for this equation of state are:

    a =3.606x106 cam.cc gmol 2 b = 42.88cc / gmol

    Q5. Under what circumstance the property change of mixing and the excess
    properties are identical? Prove that activity coefficient and excess Gibbs energy 2+3=5
    are correlated.

    Q6 Estimate the fugacity of liquid acetone at 110C and 275 bar. At 110C the
    vapour pressure of acetone is 4.36 bar and the molar volume of liquid acetone 5
    is 73 cm3/mol.

    Q7. Derive a relation to estimate the equilibrium constant from a knowledge of the 5
    standard Gibbs free energy change of a chemical reaction.

    Q8. A Carnot refrigerator is used to maintain a food compartment at -4 C. Heat is


    released from the compartment to a room at 30 C. If 30 kW heat is removed, 2+3=5
    determine (a) the coefficient of performance of the cycle and (b) the rate of
    heat released to the room.
