Chapter 3, Problem 3.19CP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the following equation to be only applicable when there is no change in the phase of the system needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction :

A phase is the area of a thermodynamic system, through which all physical properties of a substance are fundamentally even. Illustrations of physical properties comprise index of refraction, density, chemical composition and magnetization.

Name two characteristic physical properties that distinguish condensed from gas phases, and one which distinguishes solid from liquid phases. Discuss the differences for each property. Name one colligative property and by an equation (label all variables) and 1-2 sentences the physical meaning. Consider a balloon. What thermodynamic system does it represent? How does this system interact with the environment? Calculate the heat capacity at constant pressure of methane for all its contribution and the total value according to the equipartition theorem. What is a more realistic value at room temperature?  Why?
Suppose an equimolar ideal liquid mixture of A and B initially at 1000C and 200 kPa is isothermally expanded in a cylinder-piston assembly till its starts vaporizing. Determine the pressure at which vaporization starts and the composition of the vapor that forms. The saturation pressures of A and B at 1000C are 120 kPa and 150 kPa, respectively.
1 kg of benzene is poured into a flask and heated to 353 K (the boiling point of benzeneat 1 atm.) using a heating element that has a power of 700 W (we ignore thatit's probably not so healthy and smart to do). After 5 minutes, when the benzene has stoodboiling point, the heating element is taken up, and the remaining mass of benzene in the flaskmeasured at 470 grams. Determine the enthalpy of vaporization of benzene.
