Q1. At 20 °C and atmospheric pressure, the molar volume (in cm3/mol) of liquid mixtures of compound 1 and compound 2 can be described by:
V = 12.38x1
2 + 45.37x1+ 19.55
Note that x1 is mole fraction of compound 1 and x2= 1 - x1 is mole fraction of compound 2.
a) Find expressions for the partial molar volumes of compound 1 and 2 at this T and P.
b) Show that when these partial molar volume expressions are combined in accord with SVA Equation 10.11 the given equation for V is recovered.
c) Show that the expression satisfies (or doesn’t), the Gibbs-Duhem Equation
d) Plot values of molar volume, partial molar volume of compound 1, and partial molar volume of compound 2 versus x1. Label the pure component molar volumes and the partial molar volumes at infinite dilution.
e) What is thetotal volume(cm3) of a mixture containing 4 moles of component 1 and 6 moles of component 2?
f) What is the
partial molar volume of component 1(cm3/mol) of a mixture containing 4 moles of component 1 and 6 moles of component 2?
g) What is theexcess volume(cm3) of a mixture containing 4 moles of component 1 and 6 moles of component 2?
h) What would be the volume (cm3) of a mixture containing 4 moles of component 1 and 6 moles of component 2if the solution were an ideal solution?
***HINT: Recall one common model for V is:
V=V1x1+V2x2+Ax1x2,
where
V1 and V2 are the molar volumes of the pure components***
