Chapter 2, Problem 2A.10P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An expression for an isothermal reversible expansion of a van der Waals gas in reduced variables has to be stated and a definition of reduced work that makes the overall expression independent of the identity of the gas has to be defined.  Also, the work of isothermal reversible expansion along the critical isotherm from Vc to xVc has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

In thermodynamics, work is defined as the form of mechanical energy that is transferred from system to another.  Due to the organized motion of atoms, work refers to the energy transfer.  An expression for the work done in an isothermal reversible expansion is,

  dw=pdV

6. The equilibrium constant for the reaction 2 HBr (g) → H2(g) + Br2(g) Can be expressed by the empirical formula 11790 K In K-6.375 + 0.6415 In(T K-¹) - T Use this formula to determine A,H as a function of temperature. Calculate A,-H at 25 °C and at 100 °C.
3. Nitrosyl chloride, NOCI, decomposes according to 2 NOCI (g) → 2 NO(g) + Cl2(g) Assuming that we start with no moles of NOCl (g) and no NO(g) or Cl2(g), derive an expression for Kp in terms of the equilibrium value of the extent of reaction, Seq, and the pressure, P. Given that K₂ = 2.00 × 10-4, calculate Seq/ of 29/no when P = 0.080 bar. What is the new value по ƒª/ at equilibrium when P = 0.160 bar? Is this result in accord with Le Châtelier's Principle?
Consider the following chemical equilibrium: 2SO2(g) + O2(g) = 2SO3(g) • Write the equilibrium constant expression for this reaction. Now compare it to the equilibrium constant expression for the related reaction: • . 1 SO2(g) + O2(g) = SO3(g) 2 How do these two equilibrium expressions differ? What important principle about the dependence of equilibrium constants on the stoichiometry of a reaction can you learn from this comparison?
