a) Using Maxwell equations: (𝜕𝑣 ) = − ( 𝜕𝑠 ) = − 𝑐 (𝜕𝑇 )
𝑠 𝑣 𝑣 𝑣
Need to prove the final equality.
𝜕𝑢 𝜕𝑠 𝜕𝑣
From 𝑐𝑣 = (𝜕𝑇) and recalling 𝑑𝑢 = 𝑇𝑑𝑠 − 𝑃𝑑𝑣 leads to 𝑐𝑣 = 𝑇 (𝜕𝑇) − 𝑃 (𝜕𝑇) .
𝑣 𝑣 𝑣
𝑐𝑣 𝜕𝑠 𝜕𝑣
Thus, = (𝜕𝑇) where of course, (𝜕𝑇) = 0.
𝑇 𝑣 𝑣

𝜕𝑠 𝜕𝑇 𝜕𝑣 𝜕𝑇 1
Next, we use the cyclic relations: (𝜕𝑇) (𝜕𝑣 ) ( 𝜕𝑠 ) = −1 → (𝜕𝑣 ) = − 𝜕𝑠 𝜕𝑣 .
𝑣 𝑠 𝑇 𝑠 ( ) ( )
𝜕𝑇 𝑣 𝜕𝑠 𝑇
𝑐 𝜕𝑇 1 𝑇 1
From our above relation for 𝑇𝑣, we have (𝜕𝑣 ) = − 𝑐 𝜕𝑣 = −𝑐 𝜕𝑣 .

Now using Maxwell’s third relation: 𝜕𝑣 = (𝜕𝑣) = (𝜕𝑇 ) , plugging into the above

𝜕𝑠 𝑇
𝜕𝑇 𝑇 1 𝑇 𝜕𝑃 𝜕𝑃
equation we have, (𝜕𝑣 ) = − 𝑐 𝜕𝑣 = − 𝑐 (𝜕𝑇 ) = − ( 𝜕𝑠 ) .

b) Following the above process we have from Maxwell’s 2nd relation,

𝜕𝑇 𝜕𝑣 𝑇 𝜕𝑣
(𝜕𝑃) = ( 𝜕𝑠 ) = 𝑐 (𝜕𝑇) , where again we must prove the final equality.
𝑠 𝑃 𝑃 𝑃
𝜕ℎ
From 𝑐𝑃 = (𝜕𝑇) , where 𝑑ℎ = 𝑇𝑑𝑠 + 𝑣𝑑𝑃 from this last relationship we have,

Note: 𝑣𝑐2 = −𝑣 2 𝑐𝑃 (𝜕𝑣 )

𝑅𝑇 𝜕𝑃 𝑅𝑇
Assume air is an ideal gas: 𝑃𝑣 = 𝑅𝑇 → 𝑃 = . Thus, (𝜕𝑣 ) = − 𝑣2 . Plugging this
𝑣 𝑇
𝑐𝑃 (1.4)(8.31446𝑘𝐽⁄𝑘𝑚𝑜𝑙−𝐾 )(275.15 𝐾)

b) 𝑣𝑐 at 𝑇 = 2℃ and 𝑃 = 1 𝑎𝑡𝑚 (water). Liquids and solids have fixed volume and
𝑐𝑝

( ) 𝑣 𝑣 𝑣 𝑃 𝑃 𝑃
𝜕𝑠 𝑃
𝜕𝑃
𝑐𝑃 (𝜕𝑇)𝑣
equation for 𝑣𝑐2 yields, 𝑣𝑐2 = 𝑣 2 . Using the following cyclic relation

𝜕𝑇 𝑃 𝜕𝑇 𝑣
(𝜕𝑇 ) (𝜕𝑣 ) (𝜕𝑃) = −1 → (𝜕𝑃) = − 𝜕𝑃 → (𝜕𝑣 ) = − 𝜕𝑣 . Now we use this

latter form of the equation for (𝜕𝑣 ) in our equation for 𝑣𝑐2 , which leads to,

a) We must find (𝜕𝑇 ) . Starting from the product rule (cyclic rule) we have,
𝑣
𝜕𝑃 𝜕𝑣 𝜕𝑃
(𝜕𝑇 ) = − (𝜕𝑇) (𝜕𝑣 ) . By definition we have,,
𝑣 𝑃 𝑇

𝛼𝑃 = 𝑣 (𝜕𝑇) and 𝜅𝑇 = 𝑣 (𝜕𝑃) . Putting this together we can easily obtain,

(𝜕𝑇 ) = = 5.32 𝑥 10−6 = 33.8 𝑏𝑎𝑟⁄℃ . Assuming 𝛼𝑃 𝜅𝑇 and by integrating this
𝑣 𝜅 𝑇
equation we have,
𝛼𝑃
∆𝑃 = ∆𝑇 and for ∆𝑇 = 1℃, yields ∆𝑃 = 33.8 𝑏𝑎𝑟.

Problem 6
𝐺
At equilibrium 𝑓𝑠𝑜𝑙 𝐿
= 𝑓𝑠𝑜𝑙 , where 𝑠𝑜𝑙 stands for solute. At constant pressure a
change in temperature can be written as,
𝐺 𝐿
𝑑(ln 𝑓𝑠𝑜𝑙 ) 𝑑(ln 𝑓𝑠𝑜𝑙 )
( ) 𝑑𝑇 = ( ) 𝑑𝑇.
𝑑𝑇 𝑑𝑇
𝑃 𝑃

𝐺
Because the solvent is non-volatile, 𝑓𝑠𝑜𝑙 (constant pressure) depends only on 𝑇 (gas
composition is constant). On the other hand, 𝑓𝑠𝑜𝑙𝐿
(at constant pressure) depends on
𝐿
𝑑(ln 𝑓𝑠𝑜𝑙 )
both 𝑇 and composition 𝑥𝑠𝑜𝑙 ). Thus we can write ( ) 𝑑𝑇 as,
𝑑𝑇

𝐿 𝐿
𝑑(ln 𝑓𝑠𝑜𝑙 ) 𝑑(ln 𝑓𝑠𝑜𝑙 ) 𝑑(ln 𝑓 𝐿 )
( 𝑑𝑇

𝑃 𝑃,𝑥 𝑠𝑜𝑙 𝑇,𝑃

In addition, we have,

𝑑(ln 𝑓𝑠𝑜𝑙 0

where
0
ℎ𝑠𝑜𝑙 : ideal gas enthalpy of solute
𝐺
ℎ𝑠𝑜𝑙 : real ideal gas enthalpy of solute
ℎ̅𝑠𝑜𝑙
𝐿
: partial molar enthalpy of solute in the liquid phase.

Next, we will assume we can use Henry’s law thus,

𝑓𝑠𝑜𝑙

𝑥𝑠𝑜𝑙

𝑑(ln 𝑓𝑠𝑜𝑙 )
( ) = 1.
𝑑(ln 𝑥𝑠𝑜𝑙 )

Substituting our 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th equation into our 1st equations yields,
𝑑(ln 𝑥𝑠𝑜𝑙 ) ∆ℎ̅𝑠𝑜𝑙
( ) =
1 𝑅
𝑑 (𝑇)
𝑇,𝑃

𝐺
Physically, ℎ𝑠𝑜𝑙 > ℎ̅𝑠𝑜𝑙
𝐿
and therefore, 𝑥𝑠𝑜𝑙 decreases with increasing temperature.
(This is true for most cases but it is not always true)
