combined enthalpies of 1 mol of pure LiCl(s) and 12 mol of pure H2O(l). Equations for phys-
ical changes such as this are readily combined with equations for chemical reactions. This is
illustrated in the following example, which incorporates the dissolution process just described.

Example 11.3
Calculate the heat of formation of LiCl in 12 mol of H2O at 25°C.

Solution 11.3
The process implied by the problem statement results in the formation from its
constituent elements of 1 mol of LiCl in solution in 12 mol of H2O. The equation
representing this process is obtained as follows:

Li + ​ _12 ​​ Cl​  2​​ → LiCl(s) Δ​H​  298° ​ ​ = − 408,610 J

The first reaction describes a chemical change resulting in the formation of


LiCl(s) from its elements, and the enthalpy change accompanying this reaction is
the standard heat of formation of LiCl(s) at 25°C. The second reaction represents
the physical change resulting in the dissolution of 1 mol of LiCl(s) in 12 mol of
H2O(l), and the enthalpy change is a heat of solution. The overall enthalpy change,
−442,224 J, is the heat of formation of LiCl in 12 mol of H2O. This figure does
not include the heat of formation of the H2O.

Often heats of solution are not reported directly but must be determined from heats of forma-
tion by the reverse of the calculation just illustrated. Typical are data for the heats of formation
of 1 mol of LiCl:4

11.2.  Heat Effects of Mixing Processes 411

Heats of solution are readily calculated from these data. The reaction representing the
dissolution of 1 mol of LiCl(s) in 5 mol of H2O(l) is obtained as follows:

This calculation can be carried out for each quantity of H2O for which data are given.
The results are then conveniently represented graphically by a plot of ΔH 
per mole of solute, vs. n  ​​˜ ​​, the moles of solvent per mole of solute. The composition variable,​​

Because water of hydration in solids is an integral part of a chemical compound, the heat
of formation of a hydrated salt includes the heat of formation of the water of hydration. The
dissolution of 1 mol of LiCl⋅2H2O(s) in 8 mol of H2O produces a solution containing 1 mol
LiCl in 10 mol of H2O, represented by LiCl(10H2O). The equations which sum to give this
process are:

Example 11.4
A single-effect evaporator operating at atmospheric pressure concentrates a 15%
(by weight) LiCl solution to 40%. The feed enters the evaporator at a rate of 2 kg·s–1
at 25°C. The normal boiling point of a 40% LiCl solution is about 132°C, and its
specific heat is estimated as 2.72 kJ·kg−1·°C−1. What is the heat-transfer rate in the
evaporator?

11.2.  Heat Effects of Mixing Processes 413

Solution 11.4
The 2 kg of 15% LiCl solution entering the evaporator each second consists of
0.30 kg LiCl and 1.70 kg H2O. A material balance shows that 1.25 kg of H2O
is evaporated and that 0.75 kg of 40% LiCl solution is produced. The process is
represented by Fig. 11.8.

Figure 11.8: Process of Example 11.4.

The energy balance for this flow process is ΔHt = Q, where ΔHt is the total
enthalpy of the product streams minus the total enthalpy of the feed stream. Thus
the problem reduces to finding ΔHt from available data. Because enthalpy is a
state function, the computational path for ΔHt is immaterial and is selected for
convenience and without reference to the actual path followed in the evaporator.
The data available are heats of solution of LiCl in H2O at 25°C (Fig. 11.7), and the
calculational path shown in Fig. 11.9 allows their direct use.
The enthalpy changes for the individual steps shown in Fig. 11.9 must add to
give the total enthalpy change:

Δ​H​ t​ = Δ​H​ at ​ + Δ​H​ bt ​ ​ + Δ​H​ ct ​ + Δ​H​ dt ​​​ 
The individual enthalpy changes are determined as follows:
∙ ​
Δ ​H​ at ​: This step involves the separation of 2 kg of a 15% LiCl solution into its pure
constituents at 25°C. For this “unmixing” process the heat effect is the same as for
the corresponding mixing process but is of opposite sign. For 2 kg of 15% LiCl
solution, the moles of material entering are:

​(​0.15​)​(​2000​)​

​   ​      ​  
= 94.366 mol ​H​ 2​O​
42.39 18.015

Thus the solution contains 13.33 mol of H2O per mole of LiCl. From Fig. 11.7
the heat of solution per mole of LiCl for ~​n​
​  ​   = 13.33 is −33,800 J. For the
“unmixing” of 2 kg of solution,

Δ ​H​ at ​ = ​​(​+33,800​)​(​7.077​)​ = 239,250 J​

∙ ​
Δ​H​ bt ​​:  This step results in the mixing of 0.45 kg of water with 0.30 kg of LiCl(s) to
form a 40% solution at 25°C. This solution comprises:
​0.30 kg → 7.077 mol LiCl​    and​    0.45 kg → 24.979 mol  ​H​ 2​ O​​

Thus the final solution contains 3.53 mol of H2O per mole of LiCl. From
Fig. 11.7 the heat of solution per mole of LiCl for ~
​  ​  = 3.53 is −23,260 J. Therefore,

Δ​H​ ct ​: For this step 0.75 kg of 40% LiCl solution is heated from 25 to 132°C. Because

Δ​H​ ct ​ = ​​(​0.75​)​(​2.72​)​(​132 − 25​)​ = 218.28 kJ = 218,280 J​
