Solution:
For this problem, we use the Clausius-Clapeyron, with the assumptions that the vapor is ideal and the
vaporization enthalpy is constant over the temperature range given.
The Clausius-Clapeyron Equation is:

4. (10 Points) Consider that you have been given a phase diagram for a material for which the following

behavior is seen for the coexistence lines:

dP dP dP
0 < < <
dT sublimation dT fusion dT vaporization

If this phase diagram is correct, then this fluid has one unusual property and one property that violates one of the laws of
thermodynamics, particularly
close to the triple point. Using your knowledge of thermodynamics answer the following
questions. Keep in mind that the physical reasons you give must be in mathematical terms, not completely in words.

A. What property is unusual and why?

Solution: The property

dP
<0
dT fusion

is unusual as only a few substances such as water, behave in this manner (Si is another such fluid).

B. What law is violated and why?

Solution: Lets consider the Clausius-Clapeyron equation in the form including entropies.

dP Sgas,molar Sliquid ,molar

=
dT vaporization Vgas,molar
dP Sgas,molar Ssolid ,molar
=
dT sublimation Vgas,molar

Lets see what the implications of the given inequalities are:

dP dP
<
dT sublimation dT vaporization
Sgas,molar Ssolid ,molar Sgas,molar Sliquid ,molar
<
Vgas,molar Vgas,molar
Ssolid ,molar < Sliquid ,molar
Ssolid ,molar > Sliquid ,molar
The given information suggests that the entropy of the solid is greater than that of the liquid, which by the
second law is impossible.

6. (10 Points) The vapor pressures of tetrachloromethane(1) and trichloroethylene(2) between 76.8 Celsius
and 87.2 Celsius are expressed empirically by:

2790.78
ln( P1saturation ) = 15.8401
t + 226.4
2345.4
ln( P2saturation ) = 15.0124
t +192.7

where t is the Celsius temperature and saturation pressure is in torr. Assuming that tetrachloromethane and
trichloroethylene form an ideal solution between 76.8 Celsius and 87.2 Celsius at all compositions, calculate
Celsius (at ambient pressure of 760 torr). The components form a binary, two-
the values of x1 and y1 at 82.0
phase system with liquid compositions denoted with x and vapor compositions denoted with y.

Solution:
At t = 82 Celsius,

2790.78
ln( P1saturation ) = 15.8401 = 6.7919
82.0 + 226.4
P1saturation = 890torr
2345.4
ln( P2saturation ) = 15.0124 =
82.0 +192.7
P2saturation = 648torr

Now lets determine the compositions. The total pressure is 760 torr (ambient pressure).

P Total = P1 + P2 = x1P1saturation + (1 x1 )P2saturation

8. (10 Points) A. Consider an ideal gas that occupies 2.25 L at 1.33 bar. Calculate the work required to
compress the gas isothermally to a volume of 1.5 L at a constant pressure of 2.0 bar followed by another
isothermal compression to 0.8 L at a constant pressure of 2.5 bar.

Solution:
i. From (2.25 L, 1.33 bar) to (1.5 L, 2.00 bar):

w = Pext dV = (2.0bar)(1.5L 2.25L)(100 J bar 1dm 3 ) = 150 J

ii. From (1.5L, 2 bar) to (0.8 L, 2.5 bar)

w = Pext dV = (2.5bar)(0.8L 1.5L)(100 J bar 1dm 3 ) = 175 J

Total work involved in the two-step process is +325J

B. What is the work for compressing the gas isothermally and reversibly from 2.25 L to 0.8 L?

Solution:
Reversible process: for ideal gas PV=nRT, so initially,

PV = (2.25L)(1.33bar)(100J bar 1 dm 3 ) = 299.25J = nRT

To find the work for isothermal, reversible compression of ideal gas:

V 0.8
w = PdV = nRT d ln(V ) = nRT ln 2 = (299.25J)ln = 309J
V1 2.25

Thus, total work for reversible compression is less than for work at constant external pressure

10. (10 Points). A. A 17.5 gram mass of ice at 273 Kelvin is added to 125 grams of liquid water at 325 Kelvin
at constant pressure. Is the final state of the system ice or water? Take the molar specific heat of liquid water
to be 75.3 J K-1 mol-1

Solution: This is a first law (energy balance) problem. The final temperature could be at or below the freezing
temperature, or it could be above (liquid). Lets first assume that the final temperature is above the freezing
temperature. Considering the entire system to be isolated, we have the following working relation (the First
Law):

U = qwater + qice = 0

Now we independently can write the heat interaction for the ice and water as:

water,liquid
qwater = n water,liquid CP,molar ( water,liquid
Tf Tinitial )
fusion
qice = n ice H ice water,liquid
+ n ice CP,molar ( ice
Tf Tinitial )
The sum of the previous two equations is zero, allowing us to solve for Tfinal as follows:

water,liquid
qwater = n water,liquid CP,molar ( water,liquid
Tf Tinitial )
fusion
qice = n ice H ice water,liquid
+ n ice CP,molar ( ice
Tf Tinitial )
water,liquid ice water,liquid water,liquid fusion
n iceCP,molar Tinitial + n water,liquid CP,molar Tinitial n ice H ice
Tf =
n iceCPwater,liquid
,molar + n water,liquid CPwater,liquid
,molar

= 309K

B. Is the process spontaneous?

Solution:
For this part, we need to determine the total entropy change, of water and ice. Since the total system is
isolated, we should find that the entropy change is positive and thus the process is spontaneous.

For the ice:

fusion
n ice H ice T
Sice = + n iceCPwater,liquid
,molar ln f
Tfusion Tfusion
= 30.4 J /K
Tf
Swater,liquid = n water,liquid CPwater,liquid
,molar ln water,liquid
Tinitial
= 26.7 J /K

Since the sum of the entropy changes is positive, the process is indeed spontaneous.

11. (10 Points) Addition of 1.52 grams of a substance to 100 grams of camphor lowers the freezing point of
camphor by 2.80 Celsius. Estimate the molar mass of the substance.

Solution:
Assume ideality of the solution (as derived in class discussion). For camphor, the value of the freezing point
depression constant is given in Table 7.5 as 40 K/molal.

T = K f m
T 2.80K
m= = = 0.070 molal
K f 40K /molal

Small molality, so the assumption of ideality is suitable.

Molar mass:

mole substance 1.52gram substance 15.2gram substance

0.070 = =
kg solvent 0.1 kg solvent kg solvent
1 mole substance = 15.2gram /0.07 = 217g /mole

Thus, molar mass is 217 g/mole.

13. Bonus (10 Points) It can be shown that the partition function of an ideal gas of N diatomic molecules in
an external electric field, , is:

[q]N k T
Q = with q = C B sinh
N! kB T

Here, T is temperature, kB is Boltzmanns constant, is the dipole moment of a single molecule, and C is a
constant independent of . The partition function, Q, relates to the Helmholtz Free Energy through the
following equation:

[q]N
A = k B T ln Q = k B T ln
N!

Using this information along with the Fundamental Thermodynamic Relation for the total derivative of the
Helmholtz Free energy:

dA = SdT PdV (N ) d

where is the average dipole moment of a molecule in the direction of the external field, , show that at
constant temperature and volume:

Solution:

From the fundamental relation for the Helmholtz

free energy, we know the following partial derivative:
