QUESTIONS:
1.(5) Briefly discuss the following:
a) If the temperature of a solution increases upon dissolving a small quantity of solute
adiabatically, discuss the behavior of the solution (solute and solution are at the same
temperature initially).
b) Give mathematical and formal definitions of partial molar property and explain what
partial molar property stands for? also give the limitations of its use.
2.(7p) The volume change of the process due to formation of 1 mole of solution on mixing
pure A and B follows the following equation:
(3.6 XAXB)XB cm3/mol
a) derive expressions for partial molar volumes of A and B.
If molar volumes of pure A and B were 18 and 24 cm3,
b) what is the molar volume of solution having 67% by mole A.
c) what is the volume change of the process when 1 mole of B is added to 3 moles of
solution having 67% by mole A.
3.(8p) For a regular A-B solution, having -12000 J/mole interaction parameter, determine
the values of;
a) Relative partial molar enthalpy of component A, for XA = 0.3,
b) Activity and activity coefficient of component A at 1000 K, for XA = 0.3,
c) Find partial molar entropy of component B, for XA = 0.3, if entropy of pure component
B is 15 J/mole.K.
Gas constant R = 8.314 J/mol.K
