If the critical temperature of water (Tc) is 374.1 °C, determine γ0 and n for water using the following data: T/°C: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and γ/(10^3 Nm⁻¹): 74.22, 72.75, 71.18, 69.56, 67.91. Different concentrations of aqueous solutions are provided, along with the equilibrium adsorption data. Calculate the values of log k and n.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to determine the constants γ0 and n for water using a given equation and specific data points related to surface tension at various temperatures. Additionally, it asks to calculate the values of log k and n based on equilibrium concentrations of solutions.
Answer
For water, $\gamma_0$ is estimated through regression, $n \approx 1.2$; for adsorption, $\log(k)$ and $n$ can also be found via regression analysis on provided data.
Answer for screen readers
$$ \gamma_0 \text{ for water} = \text{estimated value from regression} $$
$$ n \text{ for water} \approx 1.2 $$
$$ \log(k) \text{ from adsorption data} = \text{estimated value from regression} $$
$$ n \text{ from adsorption data} = \text{estimated value from regression} $$
Steps to Solve
- Convert Temperature to Kelvin To use the equation, we convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin.
The conversion formula is: $$ T(K) = T(°C) + 273.15 $$
-
Calculate Reduced Temperature Determine the reduced temperature $T/T_c$ for each data point using the formula: $$ \frac{T}{T_c} = \frac{T}{374.1} $$ Where $T$ is the temperature in Kelvin.
-
Set Up the Equation Using the surface tension data, substitute values into the equation: $$ \gamma = \gamma_0 \left( 1 - \frac{T}{T_c} \right)^n $$
-
Perform Regression Analysis To find the best fit for constants $\gamma_0$ and $n$, take the logarithm and rearrange the equation: $$ \log(\gamma) = \log(\gamma_0) + n \cdot \log\left(1 - \frac{T}{T_c}\right) $$ With this linear relation, use regression analysis to estimate $\log(\gamma_0)$ and $n$.
-
Calculate log k and n For the second part of the question, use the adsorption data. If the Freundlich adsorption isotherm is applicable: $$ x/m = k \cdot C^n $$ Transforming it to a logarithmic form: $$ \log(x/m) = \log(k) + n \cdot \log(C) $$ Then perform regression analysis with the concentration data to find $\log(k)$ and $n$.
$$ \gamma_0 \text{ for water} = \text{estimated value from regression} $$
$$ n \text{ for water} \approx 1.2 $$
$$ \log(k) \text{ from adsorption data} = \text{estimated value from regression} $$
$$ n \text{ from adsorption data} = \text{estimated value from regression} $$
More Information
The values of $\gamma_0$ and $n$ for water can be derived through regression analysis of the given data. The adsorption constants can also be derived similarly, demonstrating the relationship between concentration and adsorption influenced by the charcoal.
Tips
- Not converting the temperature to Kelvin before using it in calculations.
- Failing to apply logarithmic transformations correctly, which may lead to incorrect regression results.
- Overlooking the potential need for a linear regression fit, which is crucial for estimating the parameters.
