The document contains questions regarding thermodynamics concepts such as the behavior of ideal gases, the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, and partial molar volumes. Question 17 asks for the value of (∂H/∂P) for an ideal gas and shows that it equals 0. Question 18 shows that for an ideal gas, CP = CV when the coefficient of volume expansion is 0. Question 19 uses the Clausius-Clapeyron equation to calculate the pressure of steam at 40°C given data at 35°C. Question 20 calculates the total volume of a mixture of ethanol and water using partial molar volumes.

(CP − CV ) = 0 ⇒ CP = CV
Question 19
At 35oC, the pressure of saturated steam is 5628Pa and the enthalpy of vaporization is
𝟐𝟒𝟐𝟏. 𝟖𝟔 𝐤𝐉𝐤𝐠 −𝟏 . Assuming that the enthalpy of vaporization is essentially constant over this
temperature range, the pressure of the steam at 40oC is
P2 Hfg 1 1
Using the Clausius Clapeyron equation, ln ( ) = ( − )
P1 R T1 T2
The parameters are given from the question as follows
P1 = 5628Pa; P2 =; ? T1 = 35o C = 308.15K; T2 = 40o C = 313.15K;
Hfg = 2421.86 kJkg −1 M(steam) = 18kg/kmol
8.314kJ/kmol. K
R = 8.314kJ/kmol. K = = 0.461889kJkg −1 K −1
18kg/kmol
P2 2421.86 1 1
⇒ ln ( )= ( − )
5628 0.461889 308.15 313.15
⇒ P2 = 7384.9184 Pa
Question 20
Calculate the volume of a 0.25 litres of ethanol and 0.75 litres of water at 15 oC. Partial molar
volume of ethanol in the mixture, V= 58.01cc/mole; Vwater = 16.7 cc/mole
Molar mass of water= 18 molar mass of ethanol= 46 density of water=1gm/cc density of ethanol=
0.79gm/cc
Volume of ethanol = 0.25𝑙 = 250cm3
Volume of water = 0.75𝑙 = 750cm3
methanol = (ρethanol )(Vethanol ) = 0.79(250) = 197.5g
mwater = (ρwater )(Vwater ) = 1(750) = 750g
m 750
nwater = = = 41.6667mol
Mr 18
m 197.5
nethanol = = = 4.2870mol
Mr 46
VT = Σ(mole of each component)(partial molar volume of the component)
VT = (41.6667)(16.7) + (4.2870)(58.01) = 944.52276cm3 = 0.944𝑙
