Liquids and Solutions Flashcards
What is an extensive/intensive variable?
Extensive - depends on size of system
Intensive - doesn’t depend on size
What are some examples of intensive and extensive variables?
Extensive: A, V, n (therefore dA, dV, dn)
Intensive: T, P, μ
What is the condition for chemical eqm?
μiα = μiβ
where μ is derivative of G wrt n
What is an ideal solution?
Equivalent to ideal gas
All interactions are the same - molecule 1 doesn’t care if surrounded by 1 or 2
Ideal entory of mixing
What is the ΔmH (of mixing) in an ideal solution?
ΔmH = 0
As all interactions are the same
What is the model used for ideal ΔmS?
Lattice model of a binary mixture
N1</sub molecules of type 1
N2 molcules of type 2
N lattice sites
Random mixing
What is Boltzmann’s eqn of entropy?
S = kb lnΩ
Ω = number of ways you can realise a given conformation
Ω = N!/[N1!N2!]
What is the ideal ΔmS?
ΔmS = -R[n1lnx1 + n2lnx2]
where ΔmS = Smix - Sunmix
What is x and sterling’s approx?
x is mole fraction
For small values of x:
lnx! = xlnx - x
What is the ΔmG of an ideal solution?
ΔmG = ΔmH - TΔmS = 0 + RT[n1lnx1 + n2lnx2]
Totally entropic
What is the μ of an ideal solution?
μ = (δG/δn)
G = Gunmix +RT[n1lnx1 + n2lnx2]
μ = μi + RTlnxi
Vapour pressure linearly related to molar pressure
What is Raoult’s law?
For an ideal solution on a boundary with ideal gas
Pi = xiPi*
How can you derive Raoult’s law?
μisolution = μivapor
Gas and solution is ideal
1) μi*
+ RTlnxi = μθ + RTln(Pi/Pθ)
2 (when @xi)) μi*
= μθ + RTln(Pi/Pθ)
1-2 so:
RTlnxi = RTln(Pi/Pθ) - RTln(Pi*
/Pθ)
gives:
xi = Pi/Pi*
How does a solid in an ideal solution change temeprature?
Solid is solvent
ΔT = T - T*
= - X2 (RT*
2/ΔfusH)
where T*
is the freezing point of water, and X2 is mole fraction of ideal solution
What is a non-ideal solution?
Interactions not identical
Non-ideal entropy of mixing
Combination of both
What is a regular solution?
Same as ideal soltuion but interactions not identical
so Δm =! 0
How is a polymer solution different to an ideal one?
Non-ideal (so different) entropy of mixing
What is the potential of a non-ideal solution?
μi = μi*
+ RTlnki + RTlnfi
where the activity coefficient is fi
What is Henry’s law?
Pi = xiKH
Not derived
When component is the minority - so linear vapour pressure when low or high x
When is Raoult’s and Henry’s law followed?
Roult’s - for a substance when pure (xi~1)
Henry’s law - for a substance when in minority (xi~0)
What is ΔmS in a regular solution?
Same as ideal
ΔmS = -R[n1lnx1 + n2lnx2]
How do you derive the sum of interactions, w, in a regular solution?
ΔH = Hmix - Hunmix
Hunmix = (1/2)zN1w11 + (1/2)zNw2w22 = (z/2)(N1+N2)(w11x1 + w22x2)
Hmix = (z/2)(N1+N2)(w11x12 + w22x22 + 2w12x1x2
Then work out difference and eventually gives
ΔmH = z(n1+n2)x1x2 [w12 - (w11+w22)/2]
What is sum of interactions in a regular solution?
w = NAz[w12 - (w11+w22)/2]
What model is used for the enthalpy of mixing in a regular solution?
Lattice model of binary mix
What are the assumptions in enthalpy of regular solution?
Random mixing
Only nearest neighbour interactions, w
Volume constant, and as H = U + PV, so ΔH = ΔU
What is the coordination number, z, in nearest neighbours?
Number of neighbours at a lattice site
z=3, triangle
z=4, square
z=6, hexagonal
What is the ΔmH of a regular solution?
ΔmH = (n1 + n2) Wx1x2
where W = NAz[w12 - (w11+w22)/2]
What is ΔmG of a regular solution?
ΔmG = ΔmH - TΔmS
ΔmG = (n1+n2)Wx1x2 + RT[n1lnx1 + n2lnx2]
What is the chemical potential of a regular solution?
μ1 = μ1*
+ RTlnx1 + wx22
can relate to f1 = exp[wx22/RT]
What is the ideal limit of activity coefficient?
f1 = exp[wx22/RT]
ideal limit when w=0 so f1 = 1
What is nearest neighbour interactions in an ideal solution?
w11 = w12 = w21 = w22
How do you relate the vapour pressure of regular solutions?
P1 = x1P1*
exp[wx22/RT) = x1P1*
f1
Remember: for ideal gas and regular solution chemical eqm
How do you derive eqn for vapour pressure of regular solution?
Boundary of ideal gas and regular solution in eqm,
μsolution = μvapour
μ1*
+ RTlnx1 + Wx22 = μ1θ + RTln(P1/Pθ)
when x1 = 1 and x2 = 0,
μ1*
= μ1θ + RTln(P1/Pθ)
then 1st - 2nd equation
RTlnx1 + Wx22 = RTln(P1/P1*
)
rearrange to
P1 = x1P1*
exp[Wx22/RT]
What is seen when two phases separate?
Starts with mix
Finishes with two phases, neither are pure but just richer in one
What factors determine if phase separation occurs in a regular solution?
g = wx1x2 + RT[x1lnx1 + x2lnx2]
when high w then encourages demixing, when low then mixing
when high T encourages mixing, when low T is demixing
Wants to min Gibbs free energy
How does W change if mixing/demixing occur?
W = NARz[w12 - (w11+w22)/2]
if W +ve then w11 and w22 more -ve so more attractive than w12
What is Tc?
Critical temperature - T at beyond which there is a one-phase region
What is seen in a molar gibbs plot for mixing?
Double well needed for phase separation
As T increases then one phase more likely
What is the chemical potential of two separate phases?
μ1 = μ1*
- X2(dg/dX2) + g
μ2 = μ2*
- (1 - X2)(dg/dX2) + g
What is teh common tangent construction?
Minima gives coesting densities after separation
(dg/dx2a) = [g(x2a) - g(x2b)]/(x2a-x2b)
What is the coexistence condition for two phases?
(dg/dx2)a = (dg/dx2)b = 0
This is required for 2 phases to be present
What is the condition (derivative) for the critical temp of two phases?
(dg/dx2)Tc = (d2g/dx22)Tc = 0
When this satisfied then at the Tc
What is a binodal or spinodal region of a gibbs graph?
Binodal - line on graph when (dg/dx2)a = (dg/dx2)b = 0 , gives 2 phases, dominates at lower T
Spinodal - line on graph when (d2g/dx22)Tc = 0 , gives mix, dominates at higher T
What is the approach for understanding colloids?
Treat as huge (slow and see-able) atoms
Same stat thermo and similar phase behaviour
