If Z is a compressibility factor, van der Waals equation at low pressure can be written as

Answer»

`Z=1+(Pb)/(RT)`
`Z=1+(RT)/(Pb)`
`Z=1-(a)/(VRT)`
`Z=1-(Pb)/(RT)`

Solution :For 1 mole of a real gas, van der Waals equation is
`(P+(a)/(V^(2)))(V-b)=RT`
At low PRESSURE, V is LARGE and therefore, b can be neglected in comparison to V so that `V-b~-V`. HENCE,
`(P+(a)/(V^(2)))V=RT`
or `PV+(a)/(V)=RT" or " PV=RT-(a)/(V)`
or `(PV)/(RT)=1-(a)/(VRT)" or " Z=1-(a)/(VRT)`

If water vapour is assumed to be a perfect gas, molar enthalpy change for vapourisation of 1 mol of water at 1 bar and 100°C is 41 kJ "mol"^(-1). Calculate the internal energy change, when (i) 1 mol of water is vaporised at 1 bar pressure and 100°C. (ii) 1 mol of water is converted into ice.

Answer»

Solution :(i) The change `H_(2) O_((l)) to H_(2) O_((G))`
`DeltaH= Delta U + Deltan_(g) RT`
OR `Delta U = Delta H - Deltan_(g) RT`, substituting the VALUES we gat.
`Delta U = 41.00 "kJ mol"^(-1) - 1xx 8.3 "J mol"^(-1) K^(-1) xx 373 K`
`= 41.00 "kJ mol"^(-1) -3.096 "kJ mol"^(-1)`
`= 37.904 "kJ mol"^(-1)`
(ii) The change `H_(2) O_((l)) to H_(2) O_((s))`
There is negligible change in volume
So, we can PUT `pDelta V=Deltan_(g) RT~~0` in this CASE,
`Delta H ~=Delta U`
So, `Delta U = 41.00 "kJ mol"^(-1)`
26.

If water vapour is assumed to be perfect gas, molar enthalpy change at 1 bar and 100^(@)C is 41 kJ mol^(-1). Calculate the internal energy change when (i) 1 mol of water is vaporised at 1 bar pressure and 100^(@)C. (ii) 1 mol of water is converted into ice.

Answer»

SOLUTION :(i) For vaporisation of water, the change is `: H_(2)O (l ) rarr H_(2)O(g)`
`Delta n_(g) = 1 -0=1`
` Delta H = Delta U + Delta n_(g) RT`
or `Delta U = Delta H - Delta n_(g) RT = 41.00 kJ mol^(-1) - ( 1 mol) xx ( 8.314 xx 10^(-3)kJ K^(-1) mol^(-1)) ( 373 K) `
`= 41.00 - 3.10 k J mol^(-1) = 37.90 kJ mol^(-1)`
(ii) For conversion of water into ice, the change is`H_(2)O(l) rarr H_(2)O(s)`
In this case, the volume change in negligible. Hence, `Delta H =Delta U = 41.00 kJ mol^(-1)`
27.

If volume of the gas is very large, then the second virial coefficient B in virial equation is

Answer»

`(b+(a)/(RT))`
`(b-(a)/(RT))`
`(b+(a)/(RTV))`
`(b-(a)/(RTV))`

Solution :`(P+(a)/(V^(2)))(V-b)=RT`
`PV+(a)/(V)-(ab)/(V^(2))-Pb=RT`
If V is very large, `(ab)/(V^(2))` can be neglected. HENCE,
`PV+(a)/(V)-Pb=RT`
or `PV=RT+Pb=(a)/(V)=RT+(RT)/(V)b-(a)/(V)`
`=RT[1+(1)/(V)(b-(a)/(RT))]`
COMPARING with the virial EQUATION
`PV=RT[1+(1)/(B)+...]`
`B=b-(a)/(RT)`
