RYERSON UNIVERSITY, TORONTO DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING Final Exam: Thermodynamics CHE214 Time: 2-5pm Question \#1: ( \( \mathbf{2 0} \) Marks) Consider the benzene(1)-ethanol(2) system which exhibits an azeotrope at 760 mmHg and \( 68.24^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) containing 44.8\% (mole basis) of ethanol. Given the constants in Antoine equations for: Benzene: \( \log \left(\mathrm{P}_{1}^{\text {sat }}\right)=6.87987-1196.76 /(\mathrm{T}+219.161) \) Ethanol: \( \log \left(\mathrm{P}_{2}^{\text {sat }}\right)=8.1122-1592.86 /(\mathrm{T}+226.18), \mathrm{T} \) is in degree Celsius. 1. Determine the constants in Van Laar equation. 2. Determine the composition of the vapor in equilibrium for a liquid solution containing \( 60 \% \) of ethanol at 760 mmHg at an appropriate different temperature. Question \#2: (30 Marks) Using the formulation of Gibbs energy equation and the equilibrium principle, deduce Gibbs-Duhem equation and explain its utility for nonideal theory of liquids. a) Starting from Gibbs-Duhem equilibrium relation for a binary system, deduce Henry's law. Comment on Henry's law limitations. b) Develop expressions of the changes in entropy and enthalpy for the following cases following cases: 1. A nonideal liquid solution 2. An ideal liquid solution 3. A nonideal gas mixture 4. An ideal gas mixture. Question \#3: ( \( \mathbf{2 5} \) Marks) An uninsulated piston/cylinder contains propene (propylene) \( \mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{H}_{6} \) at ambient temperature, \( 19^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \), with a quality of \( 50 \% \) and a volume of 10 L . The propene now expands very slowly until the pressure in the cylinder drops to 460 kPa . The process is isothermal and reversible. 1. Draw the process T-s diagram and read the initial pressure (kPa) 2. Calculate the mass of propene, the heat transfer and work for this process. Data: \( \mathrm{Tc}=364.9 \mathrm{~K}, \mathrm{Pc}=4.6 \mathrm{MPa}, \mathrm{R}=8.314 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{mol} . \mathrm{K} ., \mathrm{Cp}=1.5 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{mol} . \mathrm{K} \). Question \#4: (25 Marks) Acetic acid is esterified in the liquid phase with ethanol at \( 100^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) and atmospheric pressure to produce ethyl acetate and water according to the reaction: \[ \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}(l)+\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}(l) \quad \rightarrow \quad \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5}(l)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l) \] Initially there is one mole each of acetic acid and ethanol, estimate the equilibrium constant at \( 100^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \), the conversion x and the mole fraction of each component in the reacting mixture at equilibrium. Data for ethyl acetate: \( \Delta \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{f} 298}^{\mathrm{o}}=-480 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol} \) and \( \Delta \mathrm{G}_{\mathrm{f} 298}^{\mathrm{o}}=-332.2 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol} \).

Step 1
24 °C: P1^sat (benzene) = 10^{6.87987 - 1196.76/(68.24+219.161)} = 95.99 mmHg; P2^sat (ethanol) = 10^{8.1122 - 1592.86/(68.24+226.18)} = 760.0 mmHg. Show more…

Two volatile compounds, A and B, mix to form an ideal solution. The vapor pressures of pure A and B at 25°C are 0.53 atm and 0.83 atm, respectively. The vapors of A and B behave as ideal gases. A solution of the two components is prepared, and the pressure at 25°C is found to be 0.59 atm. Calculate the mole fraction of B in the solution, (χB(l)).
