 5.1 Fundamental Property Relation
The definition of the chemical potential of
species i in the mixture of any closed system:

  ni  P ,T ,n j

the Gibbs energy which is the function

of temperature, pressure and number of moles
of the chemical species present.
5.2 The Chemical Potential and Phase
Equilibria
For a closed system consists of 2 phase in
equilibrium, the mass transfer between phases
may occur.
At the same P and T, the chemical potential of
each species of multiple phases in equilibrium
is the same for all species.

In a solution of liquids, its properties:
M  i xi M i M  V , H , S,G
M i  Vi , H i , S i , Gi
For a binary solution, its properties:
M  x1 M 1  x2 M 2
Similarly, for separate x1 and x2;

M  M 1  x2  M 1  M 2  M  x1  M 1  M 2   M 2

(See Example 11.3)

 5.4 Ideal Gas Mixture
In a ideal gas mixture, partial molar properties
of a species (except volume) is equal to its
molar properties of the species as a pure ideal
gas when the temperature is the mixture
temperature and the pressure equal to its
partial pressure in the mixture.

The fugacity of each species is the same in
all phases.

solution;

5.8 Liquid Phase Properties from VLE data
In a vapor which a gas mixture
and a liquid solution coexist in
vapor/liquid equilibrium,

For species i in vapor mixture,

ˆf i v  yiˆiv P
Similar for species i in solution,
ˆf i l  yiˆiv P
In vapor-liquid equilibrium, vapor is assumed
ideal gas, hence,
ˆ
i  1
ig

ˆf i l  fˆi v  yi P

Thus, fugacity of species i (in both the liquid

and vapor phases) is equal to the partial
pressure of species i in the vapor phase.
fˆ1  y1 P fˆ2  y2 P
In an ideal solution,
ˆf i id  xi f i

By introducing a activity coefficient;

fˆ i fˆ i
i   id

5.9 Property Changes of Mixing
This is a mixing process
for a binary system.
The 2 pure species both at
T and P initially separated
by a partition, and then
allow to mix.
As mixing occurs,
expansion accompanied by
movement of piston so that
P is constant.

Heat is added or removed to

maintain the constant T.

When mixing is completed,

the volume changed as
measured by piston
displacement.
Property changes of mixing is given by;
M  M   xi M i M  V , H , S,G
i

Thus, the volume change of mixing, V and

the enthalpy change of mixing H are found
from the measured quantities V and Q .
t

Association with Q, H is called the heat

effect of mixing per mole of solution.
For volume in binary system;
V t
V  V  x1V1  x2V2 
n1  n2

For enthalpy in binary system;

Q
H  H  x1 H1  x2 H 2 
n1  n2
 5.10 Heat Effects of Mixing
Heat of mixing per mole of solution;
H  H   xi H i
i

Solving for binary systems;

H  x1 H1  x2 H 2  H

This equation provides the calculation of the

enthalpies of binary mixture for pure
species 1 and 2.
Heat of mixing are similar in many respect
to heat of reaction. When a mixture is formed,
energy change occurs because interaction
between the force fields of the molecules.

However, the heat of mixing are generally

Much smaller than heats of reaction.
 Heats of Solution
When solids or gases are dissolved in liquids,
the heat effect is called the heat of solution.
This heat of solution is based on the
dissolution of 1 mol of solute.
If species 1 is the solute, x1 is the moles of
solute per mole of solution. Since, H is the
~
heat effect of mixing per mole of solution, H
is the heat effect of mixing per mole of solute.
~ H
H 
x1
Mixing processes are presented by physical-
change equations, same like chemical-reaction
equations.

When 1 mol of LiCl(s) is mixed with 12 mol of

H2O, the process;
LiCl(s )  12H 2 O(l )  LiCl(12H2 O)
LiCl(12H2O) means a solution of 1 mol of LiCl
dissolved in 12 mol of H2O, giving heat effect
of the process at 25°C and 1 bar;

H  33,614 J
