Calculate g when supercooled water at –3oc freezes at constant p and t. The vapor pressure of ice at –3oc is 475 pa, and the vapor pressure of supercooled water at –3oc is 489 pa

Respuesta :

Maxwell's relations are a set of thermodynamic equations. The value of g is -65.246 j Mol⁻¹.

What is Maxwell Relation?

Maxwell's relations are a set of thermodynamic equations derived from the symmetry of second derivatives and the definitions of thermodynamic potentials.

At -3°C the pressure of ice vapour is 475 Pa and subcooled water is 489 Pa.

The latent heat of ice meting = 5.85 kJ/mol

Normal phase change occurred at constant temperature but here pressure is changing because here freezing is occurred in supercooled water.

Maxwell Relation:-

We get Gibbs free energy

dG = -sDτ+vdP, where s is the entropy

Now at isothermal condition, dτ=0

dG = 0 + vdP = vdP

Assumint the vapour to behave as ideal gas,

v=RT/P

dG = (RT/P)dP

Now in regrating ora get got change of molar Gibbs free energy

⇒ ∫dG = ΔG = RT ln(P₂/P₁)

where P₁ = final pressure = 489 Pa

P₂ = 475 Pa

T = (273-3) k = 270 k

Since 1 atm = 101.389 kPa

Therefore, ΔG = 0.0821×270×ln (475/489)

                        = -65.246 J Mol⁻¹

Hence, the value of g is -65.246 j Mol⁻¹.
