2) Law of thermodynamics, condition for equilibrium, heat capacity, the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation;
First Law of the Thermodynamics:
• The first law is the principle of conservation of energy. In the closed system the heat transferred to
a system is spent to change of internal energy and work done by the system: Q= ΔU+A,
where Q is heat transferred to the system, ΔU is the change of internal energy and A is
the work done by the system.
• Work A is positive when the work is done by the system and negative when work is done on the
system (convention), but it can be accepted vice versa.
Second Law of the Thermodynamics:
• Second law of thermodynamics introduces entropy S as function of state dQ/T=dS
• The entropy is a measure of the amount of energy which is unavailable to do work. It is impossible
to construct a heat engine that operating in the cycle produce no effect other than absorption of
energy from one reservoir and performance of an equal amount of work.
• Entropy is a measure of disorder and a measure of multiplicity of the system.
Third Law of the Thermodynamics:
• Theorem of Nernst: When T → 0 K, heat capacity CP→0, thermal expansion coefficient αV →0 and
entropy S→0.
• The entropy of pure element or substance in a perfect crystalline form is zero at absolute zero
(Planck).
• At absolute zero, the system must be in a state with the minimum energy state and the perfect
crystal has only one minimum energy state.
Condition for the Equilibrium:
• dG=0 (minimum G) Equilibrium at constant T and P
(T and P are characteristic state variable)
dG<0 Spontaneous change at constant T and P
Heat Capacity:
• Heat capacity is amount of heat need to transfer to a body to raise its temperature by 1K.

Raoult’s law:
• Partial pressure of solvent (component 1) is proportional to its mole fraction in the solution. The
law is valid for dilute solution of not volatile component in volatile solvent.
P1 = x1 P10
• P1 is pressure of solvent over solution, x1 – mole fraction of solvent, P01 is pressure of saturated
vapour of solvent over pure solvent.
• Ideal solution is a solution for which each component i obeys Raoult‘s law and chemical potential
for each component i is expressed:
i = i0 + RT ln xi
In real solutions,
i = i0 + RT ln ai
a ᵢ = γ ᵢ x ᵢ, a ᵢ is activity, γ ᵢ is coefficient of activity
Activity and Coefficient of Activity:
Activity is “effective” concentration at which phase would behave as ideal Standard state can be selected
as pure component at given P and T or as state of infinite dilute solution
Definition of activity of component i is equal:
µi – chemical potential
i − i0
ai = exp
