Step 1
314 J/mol*K), T = temperature (298 K), x1 = mole fraction of hexane, and x2 = mole fraction of heptane. Given: n = 1 + 1 = 2 moles R = 8.314 J/mol*K T = 298 K x1 = 0.5 x2 = 0.5 Plugging in the values: ΔG = 2 * 8.314 * 298 * ln(0.5/0.5) ΔG = 3.435 kJ Show more…

Calculate the (a) molar Gibbs energy of mixing, (b) the molar entropy of mixing when the two major components of air (N2 and O2) are mixed at 298 K. The mole fractions of N2 and O2 are 0.78 and 0.22, respectively.

Assuming that benzene forms an ideal solution in cyclohexane, calculate the changes in entropy, enthalpy, and Gibbs free energy when 0.050 mol of benzene is dissolved in 0.450 mol of cyclohexane. Calculate the changes in entropy, enthalpy, and Gibbs free energy when an additional 0.400 mol of benzene is added to that mixture.

Consider a mixture of benzene and methylbenzene, which form an approximately ideal solution, and suppose 1.00 mol of benzene is mixed with 2.00 mol of methylbenzene to form a liquid solution. For the mixture, the mole fractions of benzene and methylbenzene are 0.333 and 0.667, respectively. Determine the change in (a) Gibbs free energy, (b) enthalpy, and (c) entropy of mixing for this process. (ANS: (a) ΔmixG = -4.73 kJ/mol, (b) ΔmixH = 0 kJ/mol, (c) ΔmixS = -15.9 J/K)
