Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The apparatus that can be used to shift the equilibrium of the azeotrope formation towards the product side should be discussed.

Concept introduction:

Distillation is a liquid-gas separation technique for two or more liquids on the basis of their difference in boiling temperature or vapor pressure. Vapor pressure is pressure exerted by vapor phase of liquid produced due to an increase in the molecular kinetic energy of the liquid phase or due to the increase in temperature.

The temperature at which atmospheric pressure exerted on liquid equals to its vapor pressure is known to be its boiling point. Vapor pressure of the component decides boiling point of any mixture. Impurities in the mixture might result in an increase or decrease of observed boiling temperature.

Azeotropes are mixtures that deviate from ideality because of interactions between the compounds through intermolecular forces like hydrogen bonding and therefore boil at constant boiling points. Solution of water and ethanol is an example of azeotropes.

Interpretation:

The method to separate 1-butanol/butylacetate mixture that forms the upper azeotropic layer should be discussed.

Every chemist knows to ‘add acid to water with constant stirring’ when diluting a concentrated acid in order to keep the solution from spewing boiling acid all over the place.  Explain how this one fact is enough to prove that strong acids and water do not form ideal solutions.
The predominant components of our atmosphere are N₂, O₂, and Ar in the following mole fractions: χN2 = 0.780, χO2 = 0.21, χAr = 0.01. Assuming that these molecules act as ideal gases, calculate ΔGmix, ΔSmix, and ΔHmix when the total pressure is 1 bar and the temperature is 300 K.
dG = Vdp - SdT + μA dnA + μB dnB + ... so that under constant pressure and temperature conditions, the chemical potential of a component is the rate of change of the Gibbs energy of the system with respect to changing composition, μJ = (∂G / ∂nJ)p,T,n' Using first principles prove that under conditions of constant volume and temperature, the chemical potential is a measure of the partial molar Helmholtz energy (μJ = (∂A / ∂nJ)V,T,n')
