Chapter 17, Problem 17.30E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The validation of the fact that thermodynamic state functions are not equal to zero even though they contain the derivative of a constant, that is, q is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Thermodynamic state functions describe the state of the system. These properties depend on the initial and final states and not on the path by which the state has arrived.

Partition function is defined as the functions of the thermodynamic state variables. It is a pure number and a unitless quantity because it represents the sum of the exponential functions.

20. The Brusselator. This hypothetical system was first proposed by a group work- ing in Brussels [see Prigogine and Lefever (1968)] in connection with spatially nonuniform chemical patterns. Because certain steps involve trimolecular reac tions, it is not a model of any real chemical system but rather a prototype that has been studied extensively. The reaction steps are A-X. B+X-Y+D. 2X+ Y-3X, X-E. 305 It is assumed that concentrations of A, B, D, and E are kept artificially con stant so that only X and Y vary with time. (a) Show that if all rate constants are chosen appropriately, the equations de scribing a Brusselator are: dt A-(B+ 1)x + x²y, dy =Bx-x²y. di
