- Why does the chemical potential vary with (a) temperature, (b) pressure?arrow_forwardCalculate the change in chemical potential of a perfect gas when its pressure is increased isothermally from 1.8 atm to 29.5 atm at 40°Carrow_forwardThe standard state of a substance used to be defined as 1 atm at the specified temperature. By how much does the current definition of standard chemical potential (at 1 bar) differ from its former value at 298.15 K?arrow_forward
- Why is it reasonable to set the chemical potential of a pure liquid or of a pure solidequal to its standard state value , independent of the pressure?arrow_forwardSuggest a physical interpretation of the dependence of the Gibbs energy on the pressure.arrow_forwardDerive a formula for the molar Gibbs free energy change of a closed system at constant temperature if the system obeys the equation of state PV = nRT + nCP where C is a constant.arrow_forward
- Is it true that Earth is a thermodynamically closed system because only energy is allowed to transfer spontaneously through its system boundary of the atmospherearrow_forwardUse mathematical software or an electronic spreadsheet to:Evaluate the change in entropy of 1.00 mol CO2(g) on expansion from 0.001 m3 to 0.010 m3 at 298 K, treated as a van der Waals gas.arrow_forward
