(a)
Interpretation:
The difference between sample of gas and sample of liquid should be determined when the sample is transferred from one small container to a larger one.
Concept Introduction:
The characteristics of gases and liquids are:
- Liquid has definite volume but indefinite shape whereas the gas has indefinite volume and shape.
- Liquid has more density in comparison to gas but less than solid.
- Liquid has small compressibility in comparison to gas but larger than solid.
- Liquid has small thermal expansion in comparison to gas (moderate) but larger than solid.
(a)

Answer to Problem 5.1P
The volume of gas increases whereas the volume of liquid will not change when the gas is transferred from one small container to large container.
Explanation of Solution
The volume of gas changed with pressure whereas the volume of liquid is not changed with the pressure. When the gas is transferred from one small container to large container then the pressure decreases and the volume of the gas increases whereas there is no effect in the volume of liquid.
(b)
Interpretation:
The difference between sample of gas and sample of liquid should be determined when the sample is heated in an expandable container, but there is no change of state takes place.

(b)

Answer to Problem 5.1P
The volume of gas increases whereas the volume of liquid will not change when the gas is heated in an expandable container but no change in state takes place.
Explanation of Solution
When a gas is heated, its volume will increases 50 to 100 times greater than the liquid at constant pressure. Therefore, when the gas is heated in an expandable container,the volume of the gas increases whereas the volume will not change significantly.
(c)
Interpretation:
The difference between sample of gas and sample of liquid should be determined when the sample is placed in a cylinder having piston, and force is applied externally.

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.
