Consider a container of volume 5.0 dm3 that is divided into two compartments of equal size. In the left compartment, there is nitrogen at 1.0 atm and 25 °C; in the right compartment there is hydrogen at the same temperature and pressure. Calculate the entropy and Gibbs energy of mixing when the partition is removed. Assume that the gases are perfect. (1 atm= 101325 Pa)

Suppose that in a phase diagram, when the sample was prepared with the mole fraction of component A equal to 0.40 it was found that the compositions of the two phases in equilibrium corresponded to the mole fractions xA,α = 0.60 and xA,β = 0.20. What is the ratio of amounts of the two phases?
Use the fundamental equation of therodynamics here tocalculate the change Gibbs energy when 3.1 mmol N_2(g) occupying 3.0L at 350 K expandsisothermally to 15 L.
In the following balanced reaction: 2Al(s) + 6HCl(aq) → 2AlCl3(s) + 3H2(g) 2.32 g of Al react with excess HCl to produce hydrogen gas which is passed through water and collected at 25oC and a barometric pressure of 7.40 x 102 Torr. The vapour pressure of water at 25oC is 23.770 Torr. Calculate the partial pressure of hydrogen gas.
One of the most recognizable corrosion reactions is the rusting of iron. Rust is caused by iron reacting with oxygen gas in the presence of water to create an oxide layer. Iron can form several different oxides, each having its own unique color. Red rust is caused by the formation of iron(III) oxide trihydrate.
