Thermo II Exam 2 Flashcards
Amagat’s Law
Delta V on mixing for non-reacting gases is zero.
substitute for Amagat’s law
Applicable only at low pressure
z is a linear factor of the mole fraction
Amagat’s Law assumption is used for…
Lewis-Randall Rule
Activity Coefficient equations
Alpha_i(T,P,X) = (overbar) F_iL (T,P,X) /x_i*f_iL(T,P)
Liquid Phase Approaches
Activity Coefficient Models
Cubic - EOS
Simple Liquid Mixture
Formed by mixing two or more pure species that are liquids at the T,P of the mixture
Nonsimple Liquid Mixture
Formed by mixing two or more pure species of which at least one of the components is not a liquid at the T, P, of the mixture
Requirements for Excess Gibbs Energy (Activity Coefficient) Models, assuming binary Mixture
- Must satisfy Gibbs Duham Equation
- as x1 –> 0, G^ex –> 0
- as x1 –> 0, G^ex –> 0
Random Mixture
Mixing 2 or more components in which the molecules are arranged randomly (Ideal gases, Ideal liquid mixtures, butane and isobutane)
One-Constant Margules Notes
- A may be positive or negative
- A is generally a function of temperature
- A may be assumed constant over small temperature range
- Satisfactory results for mixtures composed of molecules of similar size, shape, and chemical natures
Van Laar Equations Assumptions
- Applicable to binary mixtures
- Species are of similar size and interaction energies
Local Composition Models
Something causes preferential arrangement in a mixture on a microscopic level (polarity, hydrophobic/hydrophilic, large size differences)
