Question 1 Express the changes in internal energy of a system when
(i) No heat is absorbed by the system from surroundings, but work (w) is done on the system What type of wall does the system have?
Solution
q = 0
Δu=q+w
adiabatic
non-rigid wall
Question 1 Express the changes in internal energy of a system when
(iii) w amount of work is done by the system and q amount heat is supplied to the system. What type of system would it be?
Solution
Δu=q−w
closed
Question 2 For each process state whether each of q, w, and Δ u is positive, zero, or negative
(a) Combustion of benzene in a sealed container with rigid, adiabatic walls
Solution
w=0
q=0 Δu=0
(b) Combustion of benzene in a sealed container that is immersed in a water bath at 25oC and has rigid, thermally conducting walls
(c) Adiabatic expansion of a nonideal gas into vacuum
(ii) 10 Pa, 1m3, T isochoric 1 Pa, 1 m3,T2 isobaric 1 Pa, 10m3, T
w=w1+w2
w=0-P(V2−V1)
w=-1 Pa(10-1)m3
w=-9 J
(iii) 10 Pa, 1m3, T isobaric 10 Pa, 10 m3,T3 isochoric 1 Pa, 10m3, T
w=w1+w2
w=-10 Pa(10-1)m3+0
w=-90 J
H=U+PV
State variable
Extensive quantity
Absolute value can be not be determined experimentally
ΔH only depands on initial and final state
Molar enthalpy change of vapourisation of water at 1 bar and 100oC is 41kJmol−1 ", calculate the internal energy change when (assume water vapour is a perfect gas)
1 mol of water is vaporised at 1 bar and 100oC
1 mol of water is converted into ice
Question 5. A process
H2O(C)(1mol)→H2O(g) (1 mol) at 1bar, 100oC
Solution
ΔH=ΔvapH = 41 KJ mol−1
ΔH=ΔU+ΔngRT
ΔU=ΔH−ΔngRT
ΔU= 41 KJ mol−1×1mol−1mol×8.314Jmol−1K−1×373k
ΔU= 37.9 KJ
ΔU= 37.9 KJ mol−1
q=CΔT
C= heat capacity (capital letter/ uppercase) extensive quantity.
q=nCmΔT
Cm=nC= molar heat capacity (intensive quantity)
q=m.c.dT
c= mc= specific heat Capacity (small letter / lowercase)
Heat exchage can be carried out in two ways - content pressure, constant volume
if the process is at constant V
(P1,T1,V)→(P2,T2,V)
Δu=qv
Δu=CvΔT
if the process is at Constant P
ΔH=qp=CpΔT
ΔH=CpΔT for ideal gas
ΔU=CvΔT
Cp and Cv are related
for solids and liquids
ΔV≈0
Cp≈Cv
in true sense Cp>Cv (with exception where volume reduces on heating)
Cp=Cv
4oC , water,1atm
