Chapter 16.6, Problem 1P
Why is the criterion for chemical equilibrium expressed in terms of the Gibbs function instead of entropy?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Reason behind the criterion for chemical equilibrium expressed in terms of the Gibbs function instead of entropy.
Answer to Problem 1P
The equilibrium criteria can be expressed in terms of properties alone when the Gibbs function is used.
Explanation of Solution
Conclusion:
The reacting system depends upon the heat transfer, change in entropy principle relation requires a detail knowledge about the heat transfer between the system and its surrounding, which is not practical.
Thus, the equilibrium criteria can be expressed in terms of properties alone when the Gibbs function is used.

- 3) An ideal gas consisting of one mole of molecules of type A is in contact with the surroundings at T=300 K, and under a constant pressure of 1 atm. The gas undergoes a spontaneous isomeric chemical reaction, wherein some fraction x of molecules of type A change shape, become isomers of type B. This results in an equilibrium mixture of 1-x moles of A and x moles of B. The enthalpy of B is lower than the enthalpy of A by 3 kJ/mole, such that AH = -xɛ; & = 3kJ/mole . The change in entropy is given by AS ==R(xln x+ (1–x)ln(1– x)). Use the computer to graph the change in Gibbs free energy as a function of x.
