For the conversion process (we designate monoclinic as the α form and rhombic as the β form for convenience): S α (298.15K, 0.101MPa) S β (298.15K, 0.101MPa), calculate (a) trans S m, (b) trans H m,and (c) trans G m, given Cp,m(β) =22.59 JK 1 mol 1 for rhombic sulfur Cp,m(α) =23.64 JK 1 mol 1 for monoclinic sulfur trans H =397.9 Jmol 1 for the transition of rhombic sulfur to monoclinic sulfur at the reversible transition temperature of 368.60 K and 0.101 MPa. Answer Note that the trans H given is βα H,where β is the initial state and α is the final state: S β (298.15 K,0.101 MPa) S α (298.15 K,0.101 MPa). herefore, for the transition of monoclinic (α) to rhombic (β), αβ H = 397.9 Jmol 1. Also, we denote αβ Cp = Cp,m(β) C p,m(α), i.e., final state initial state. (a) At 368.60 K and the standard pressure of 0.101 MPa, the two forms of sulfur are in equilibrium (the transition is reversible) and, therefore, αβ G =0. herefore, αβ Sm = αβ H /368.6 K = 1.0789 JK 1 mol 1. At 298.15 K, (b) Similarly, αβ S m = αβ S m + 298.15 Z K 368.60 K αβ Cp d = 1.0789 JK 1 mol 1 +(22.59 23.64) JK 1 mol 1 ln = 0.8562 JK 1 mol 1 αβ H m = αβ H m + 298.15 Z K 368.60 K αβ C pd µ 298.15 368.60 = 397.9 Jmol 1 +(22.59 23.64) JK 1 mol 1 (298.15 368.60) K = 323.9 Jmol 1 (c) From the entropy and enthalpy for the transition, we get αβ G m = αβ H m αβ S m = 68.62 Jmol 1 henegativevaluefor αβ G m is consistent with the fact that the transition is spontaneous at this temperature. 1
2. he vapor pressures of solid and liquid hydrogen cyanide in the appropriate temperature ranges are given, in Clausius-Clapeyron form, by solid :lnp(kpa) =19.489 4252.4 liquid :ln p/(kpa) =15.818 3345.8 (a) Find the molar enthalpy of sublimation for HCN. (b) Find the molar enthalpy of vaporization for HCN. (c) Find the molar enthalpy of fusion for HCN. (d) Find the triple point temperature and pressure. (e) Find the normal boiling point of HCN. Answer: (a) Since the Clausius-Clapeyron form is ln p = H R +c, we get subh from the expression for the vapor pressure of the solid: sub H = 4252.4R =35, 357 Jmol 1 (b) he enthalpy of vaporization is obtained from the expression for the vapor pressure of the liquid: vap H = 3345.8R =27, 819 Jmol 1 (c) he enthalpy of fusion is calculated by recognizing that enthalpies are state functions and, therefore, sub H = fus H + vap H. herefore, fus H = sub H vap H =7, 538.0 Jmol 1 (d) At the triple point, the solid and liquid lines intersect. herefore, 19.489 4252.4 = 15.818 3345.8. Solving for the triple point temperatrure, we get = 246.96 K. Substituting the temperature back into one of the equations, we get ln p/(kpa) =15.818 3345.8 246.96 =2.2701 herefore, p = 9.6804 kpa. (e) he normal boiling point corresponds to the temperature at which p = 101 kpa (or 0.101 MPa or 1.01 bar = 1 atm): = 3345.8 ln(101) 15.818 =298.66 K. 2

(b) (i) he liquid starts to boil at 331.50 K. (ii) Since the vapor that forms at 331.5 K from a liquid mixture with x 2 =0.80 will be richer in component 2, the liquid composition will move towards the azeotrope. herefore, the temperature as the last drop of liquid evaporates will be equal to that at the azeotropic composition, i.e., 336.4 K. (iii) he tempearture corresponding to x 2 =0.50 is 335.7 K. 4
