Study Notes
Two-Component Phase Equilibria III
Ideal Solutions
- Free energy change in ideal solutions: ∆Gmix = nRT ( xA ln xA + xB ln xB )
- ∆Gmix is purely entropic, similar to gas mixtures
- No enthalpy change (∆Hmix = 0) and no volume change (∆Vmix = 0)
Non-Ideal Solutions
- Molecular interactions: uAA, uBB, and uAB determine the deviation from ideality
- ∆u = 2uAB - (uAA + uBB) determines how solutions depart from ideality
- Positive deviations: ∆u > 0, mixing is energetically not favorable
- Negative deviations: ∆u < 0, mixing is energetically favorable
Deviations from Raoult's Law
Positive Deviations
- Example: acetone and carbon disulphide
- ∆Gmix > ∆Gmix (ideal)
- Vapor pressure is higher than expected by Raoult's Law
Negative Deviations
- Example: acetone and chloroform
- ∆Gmix < ∆Gmix (ideal)
- Vapor pressure is lower than expected by Raoult's Law
Ideal Dilute Solutions and Henry's Law
Ideal Dilute Solution
- Defined by limits xB → 1 and xB → 0
- Raoult's Law applies for the solvent (xB → 1)
- Henry's Law applies for the solute (xB → 0)
Henry's Law
- pCS = xCS KCS
- KB is the Henry's Law constant, dependent on the solvent/solute mixture and temperature
- Positive deviation: KB > pB*
- Negative deviation: KB < pB*
