The internal energy changes in the conversion of 1.0 mole of the calcite from of CaCO_(3) to the aragonite from is +0.21 kJ . Calculate the enthalpy change when the pressure is 0.1 bar, given that the densities of the solids are 2.71 g cm^(-3) and 2.93 g cm^(-3) respectively.

Solution :`DELTAH = DeltaE + PDeltaV`
Given `DeltaE = +0.21 kJ mol^(-1) = 0.21 XX 10^(3) J mol^(-1)`
P = 1 bar = `1.0 xx 10^(5)` Pa
`DeltaV = V_("argonite") - V_("calcite")` (mol. Wt. of `CaCO_(3)=100`)
`=(100/2.93)- (100/2.71) CM^(3) mol^(-1)` of `CaCO_(3)`
`=-2.77 cm^(3) = -2.77 xx 10^(-6) m^(3)`
`DeltaH = 0.21 xx 10^(3) - 1 xx 10^(5) xx 2.77 xx 10^(-6)`
`=2.0972 J mol^(-1)`
`=0.20972 kJ mol^(-1)`
