Chapter 6 Thermodynamics of Mixtures

A mixture is a gaseous, liquid, or solid phase containing more than one component. The chemical process industries mainly deal with the separation of mixtures, and their properties are needed in design calculations. Mixture properties, however, cannot be determined from the weighted average of the properties of the pure components comprising the mixture. The purpose of this chapter is to show how to calculate the mixture properties. 6.1 EQUATIONS OF STATE FOR MIXTURES 6.1.1 Virial Equation of State At low to moderate pressures (up to 15 bar), the virial equation of state, truncated after the second term, for a gas mixture consisting of k species is given by Zmix = 1 + Bmix P RT (6.1-1)

where the second virial coecient for the mixture, Bmix , is dened as Bmix =
k k X X i=1 j =1

yi yj Bij

(6.1-2)

in which yi represents the mole fraction of species i. When i = j , the terms Bii and Bjj represent second virial coecients corresponding to the pure components i and j , respectively. When i 6= j , second virial cross coecients are symmetric, i.e., Bij = Bji . In engineering calculations involving normal uids, second virial cross coecients, Bij , can be estimated from Eqs. (3.1-10)-(3.1-12) with the following modications of Tc , , and Pc : ! q ec ec 4 Tcij Pcj V Pci V i + j i j Pcij = ij = + Tcij = (1 kij ) Tci Tcj 2 Tci Tcj 1/3 1/3 3 e e Vci + Vcj (6.1-3) ec and V ec are the critical molar volumes of components i and j , respectively1 . The where V i j , have been reported by Chueh and Prausnitz values of the binary interaction parameter2 , kij (1967a), Tsonopoulos (1979), Nishiumi et al. (1988), and Meng et al. (2007). For binary

In the absence of data, critical molar volume can be estimated from the following formula: ec = RTc (0.290 0.085 ) V Pc

Keep in mind that interaction parameters have no theoretical basis; they are simply adjustable parameters to t experimental data.

 may mixtures of chemically similar molecules, i.e., similar size, shape, and chemical nature, kij be considered zero. Chueh and Prausnitz (1967b) proposed the following equation to estimate : kij q ec V e 8 V i cj =1 (6.1-4) kij /3 1/3 3 ec1 e (V + V ) c i j

In the absence of reliable data, the second virial cross coecient, Bij , may be assumed to be the arithmetic mean of Bii and Bjj , i.e., Bij ' (Bii + Bjj )/2.

Example 6.1 A rigid tank contains 3 moles of ethane (1) at 373 K and 4 bar. Estimate the pressure in the tank when 5 moles of n-butane (2) is added isothermally to the tank. The mixture is described by the virial equation of state and the following critical properties are provided: Component Ethane n-Butane Solution From Appendix A Component Ethane n-Butane Tc ( K) 305.3 425.0 Pc ( bar) 49 38 0.099 0.199 ec ( cm3 / mol) V 145.5 255.0

The nal pressure in the tank can be estimated from Eq. (6.1-1), i.e., (Zmix )f = emix )f (Bmix )f Pf Pf (V =1+ RT RT = Pf = RT e )f (Bmix )f (V mix (1)

where the subscript "f" represents the nal state. The term Bmix is calculated from Eq. (6.1-2) as 2 2 B11 + 2 y1 y2 B12 + y2 B22 (2) Bmix = y1 The total tank volume, V , can be calculated from the initial conditions, i.e., when the tank is initially lled with ethane. The use of the virial equation of state gives B11 Pinitial Pinitial V RT =1+ = V = ninitial (3) Zinitial = + B11 ninitial RT RT Pinitial Thus, the molar volume of the mixture at the nal state is emix )f = (V V nf (4)

The second virial coecients for pure components, i.e., B11 and B22 , are calculated from Eqs. (3.1-10)-(3.1-12). The results are given in the table below: Component Ethane n-Butane Tr 1.222 0.878 B (0) 0.223 0.437 128 B (1) 0.065 0.159 Bii ( cm3 / mol) 112.3 435.7

To calculate the second virial cross coecient, B12 , it is rst necessary to calculate the parameters dened by Eqs. (6.1-3)-(6.1-4): p 8 (145.5) (255) k12 = 1 3 = 0.013 145.51/3 + 2551/3 p Tc12 = (1 0.013) (305.3)(425) = 355.5 K 0.099 + 0.199 = 0.149 2 (49)(145.5) (38)(255) (4)(355.5) + = 42.04 bar = 3 305.3 425 145.51/3 + 2551/3
(0) (1)

12 = Pc12

The parameters B12 and B12 are calculated from Eqs. (3.1-11) and (3.1-12), respectively, as B12 = 0.083 B12 = 0.139
(1) (0)

0.422 = 0.308 (373/355.5)1.6

0.172 = 1.57 103 (373/355.5)4.2

Finally, the second virial cross coecient B12 is calculated from Eq. (3.1-10) as i (83.14)(355.5) h 0.308 + (0.149) 1.57 103 = 216.7 cm3 / mol B12 = 42.04

The term Bmix is calculated from Eq. (2) as 2 2 5 5 3 3 ( 216.7) + Bmix = ( 112.3) + 2 ( 435.7) = 287.6 cm3 / mol 8 8 8 8

The tank volume is calculated from Eq. (3) as (83.14)(373) 112.3 = 22, 922 cm3 V = (3) 4 The use of Eq. (4) gives emix )f = (V Pf = 22, 922 = 2865.3 cm3 / mol 8

Substitution of the numerical values into Eq. (1) results in (83.14)(373) = 12 bar 2865.3 287.6

Example 6.2 A gas mixture containing 90 mol % methane (1) and 10% ethane (2) is irreversibly compressed from 1 bar and 310 K to 30 bar and 350 K in an adiabatic compressor. If the gas mixture is represented by the virial equation of state, estimate the work required per mole of gas mixture. The virial coecients are expressed as a function of temperature in the form ij ij 2 Bij = ij T T in which the parameters are given by Estela-Uribe et al. (2003) as 129

12 = 100.19 12 = 52.82 12 = 12.63 105 103

22 = 89.75 22 = 49.80 103 22 = 96.19 105

with B is in cm3 / mol and T is in K. Solution From Appendix B

eP = 36.155 0.511 101 T + 2.215 104 T 2 1.824 107 T 3 + 4.899 1011 T 4 C 1

For a steady-state ow system, the rst law gives fs = H e W (1)

The change in enthalpy can be determined from Eq. (3.3-13), i.e., ! # ! # Z T2 Z P2 " Z 0" emix emix V V eP dT + emix T emix T e= dP + C V V H mix T T T1 0 P1

The use of the virial equation of state, Eq. (6.1-1), leads to Zmix = emix Bmix P PV =1+ RT RT emix = RT + Bmix V P (3)

The partial derivative appearing in Eq. (2) is ! emix V R dBmix = + T P dT

(4)

and the integrand in Eq. (2) becomes ! emix V dBmix emix T V = Bmix T T dT
P 2 2 B11 + 2 y1 y2 B12 + y2 B22 Bmix = y1

(5)

Therefore, it is rst necessary to express Bmix as a function of temperature. From Eq. (6.1-2) (6)

Expression of virial coecients in terms of temperature leads to Bmix = 1 where

2 2 1 = y1 11 + 2 y1 y2 12 + y2 22 2 2 11 + 2 y1 y2 12 + y2 22 2 = y1

The use of Eq. (7) in Eq. (5) gives emix T V emix V T ! = 1 22 33 2 T T (11)

The numerical values of 1 , 2 , and 3 are calculated from Eqs. (8)-(10) as 1 = 53.106 cm3 / mol 2 = 2.388 104 cm3 . K/ mol

Substitution of Eq. (11) into Eq. (2) and integration give ! Z T2 P P P P 2 1 2 1 e = 1 (P2 P1 ) 22 eP H 33 C dT + mix 2 2 T2 T1 T1 T2 T1

The molar heat capacity of an ideal gas mixture is the mole fraction-weighted sum of the pure molar heat capacities, i.e.,
eP eP eP = y1 C + y2 C C 1 2 mix 4 = 35.871 0.471 101 T + 2.350 104 T 2 2.018 107 T 3 + 5.607 1011 T(13)

Thus, the numerical value of the integral in Eq. (12) is Z 350 eP dT = 1574 J/ mol C mix
310

Substitution of the numerical values into Eq. (12) yields 1 30 6 5 2 e 105 H = 53.106 10 (30 1) 10 2(2.388 10 ) 350 310 30 1 3(2.314) 105 + 1574 = 1171.3 J/ mol 3502 3102

6.1.2 Cubic Equations of State The cubic equations of state given in Table 3.1 are also valid for gas and liquid mixtures. Table 6.1 summarizes these equations for mixtures. The practical question to be asked at this stage is how to evaluate the mixture parameters, i.e., amix and bmix , once pure component parameters are calculated. According to the van der Waals (or quadratic) mixing rules3 , the mixture parameters are given by the following composition-dependent expressions: amix =
k k X X i=1 j =1

xi xj aij

(6.1-5)

bmix =

k k X X i=1 j =1

xi xj

bi + bj 2

k X i=1

(6.1-6)

Equations (6.1-5) and (6.1-6) are not the only equations used to calculate the parameters for the mixtures. Ghosh (1999) and Twu et al. (2002) summarized various mixing rules used in the literature. See also Orbey and Sandler (1998).

6.1.4 Which Equation of State to Use? The two central questions in solving problems encountered in real life are: (i) Which equation of state should be used for a given mixture?, (ii) Which mixing rule should be employed in the calculations? Unfortunately, there is no clearcut recipe for answering such questions. Simulation packages given in Appendix H provide decision trees for making the proper selection by taking into account various factors, some of which are given below: Nature of the chemical species (Polar/Nonpolar, Electrolyte/Nonelectrolyte) Real or pseudocomponents5 , Value of pressure (less than or greater than 10 bar) Availability of interaction parameters.

The Peng-Robinson and the Soave-Redlich Kwong equations of state are mostly preferred in the natural-gas, petroleum, and petrochemical industries (Prausnitz and Tavares, 2004). For more details on the subject, the reader should refer to Chen and Mathias (2002), Poling et al., (2004), de Hemptinne and Behar (2006), and Edwards (2008). 6.2 PARTIAL MOLAR QUANTITY Consider two separate beakers containing water of volumes 20 cm3 and 50 cm3 . If the contents of these two beakers are mixed, the total volume of water will be 70 cm3 . Since volumes of a pure component are additive, this is an expected result. When 20 cm3 of water is mixed with 50 cm3 of ethanol, the total volume of the solution turns out to be 67 cm3 , less than the sum of pure liquid volumes. The reason for this is the fact that water and ethanol molecules interact with each other and pack dierently than with like molecules6 . If 1 and 2 represent water and ethanol, respectively, then e1 + n2 V e2 Vmix 6= n1 V (6.2-1)

e2 represent the molar volumes of pure 1 and 2, respectively. e1 and V in which V In engineering calculations, however, we want to have an equation similar to Eq. (6.2-1) to calculate the total volume of a mixture. In other words, we have to come up with a quantity V i so that the additive property holds, i.e., Vmix = n1 V 1 + n2 V 2
5

(6.2-2)

In complex mixtures, such as crude oil, it is not possible to identify each component making up the mixture. In that case, some components are lumped into a so-called pseudo-component. Reduction in the number of components makes the mixture amenable to modeling. The criteria used in lumping and the estimation of pseudo-component properties are beyond the scope of this text. 6 Consider a box of volume V1 lled with small metal balls and another box of volume V2 lled with rice. If the contents of these two boxes are mixed, the nal volume will be less than V1 + V2 .

or, in general, Vmix =

k X i=1

ni V i

(6.2-3)

The term V i is called the partial molar volume of species i and is dened by Vmix Vi = ni T,P,nj 6=i

(6.2-4)

The subscripts on the partial derivative mean that pressure, temperature, and number of moles of all components other than i are kept constant. In general, a partial molar property, i , is the rate at which an extensive property of the entire mixture, mix , changes with the number of moles of component i in the mixture when temperature, pressure, and number of moles of all components other than i are kept constant, i.e., mix i = (6.2-5) ni T,P,nj6=i It should be kept in mind that i is a property of the mixture and not simply a property of component i. The partial molar quantity is an intensive property that is generally dependent on the composition of the mixture as well as temperature and pressure. The total property of the mixture is expressed in terms of the partial molar properties as mix =
k X i=1

ni i

(6.2-6)

or dividing each term by the total number of moles gives e mix =

Example 6.7 Pecar and Dolecek (2005) experimentally determined the densities and the partial molar volumes of a binary mixture of ethanol (1) and water (2) as a function of temperature and pressure. In a mixture with an ethanol mole fraction of 0.35 at 298 K and 1 bar, the mixture density and the partial molar volume of ethanol are determined as 891.9 kg/ m3 and 57.31 cm3 / mol, respectively. Calculate the partial molar volume of water. Solution From Eq. (6.2-7) we can write emix = x1 V 1 + x2 V 2 V emix = Mmix V mix

(1)

Note that the molar volume of the mixture is given by

(2)

in which Mmix and mix represent the molecular weight and the density of the mixture, respectively. The molecular weight of the mixture is given by Mmix = x1 M1 + x2 M2 = (0.35)(46.07) + (0.65)(18.02) = 27.84 g/ mol 145

Therefore, the molar volume of the mixture is calculated from Eq. (2) as emix = 27.84 = 31.21 cm3 / mol V 0.8919

The partial molar volume of water is then determined from Eq. (1) as 31.21 = (0.35)(57.31) + 0.65 V 2 V 2 = 17.16 cm3 / mol

Consider the denition of enthalpy, i.e., H = U + PV (6.2-8)

Dierentiation of Eq. (6.2-8) with respect to ni by keeping temperature, pressure, and number of moles of all components other than i constant gives U V H = +P (6.2-9) ni T,P,nj 6=i ni T,P,nj 6=i ni T,P,nj 6=i Application of the denition of a partial molar quantity leads to Hi = U i + P V i Similarly, we can write Ai = U i T S i Gi = H i T S i 6.2.1 Determination of Partial Molar Quantities For simplicity let us consider the determination of partial molar volumes in a binary mixture. In general, partial molar volumes can be determined by two dierent approaches. Method of tangent slope In this method, a known amount of a compound, say one mole of component 1, is placed in a graduated cylinder. By keeping temperature and pressure constant throughout the experiment, the volume of the mixture is recorded by adding increasing amounts of component 2. Then either the total volume of the mixture, Vmix , is plotted as a function of n2 or an equation is e1 + n2 + n1.5 + n2 + ... , in which V e1 is the tted to the volume data in the form Vmix = V 2 2 molar volume of pure 1. At any given value of n2 , the slope of the tangent to the curve gives the partial molar volume of component 2, i.e., Vmix =V2 (6.2-13) Slope = n2 T,P,n1 If an equation is tted, then dierentiation of the equation with respect to n2 gives the partial molar volume of component 2 as Vmix .5 V2 = = + 1.5 n0 (6.2-14) 2 + 2 n2 + ... n2 T,P,n1 146 (6.2-11) (6.2-12) (6.2-10)

Once V 2 is determined, the partial molar volume of component 1 can be obtained from Eq. (6.2-6) as Vmix n2 V 2 V1 = (6.2-15) n1 Example 6.8 When NaCl is dissolved in water at 298 K, the volume of the resulting mixture is represented as a function of molality7 , m, in the form Vmix = 1003 + 16.62 m + 1.77 m1.5 + 0.12 m2 where Vmix is in cm3 . For a 0.01 m solution of NaCl, calculate: a) The total solution volume, b) The partial molar volumes of NaCl and water. Solution a) From Eq. (1) Vmix = 1003 + 16.62 (0.01) + 1.77 (0.01)1.5 + 0.12 (0.01)2 = 1003.2 cm3 b) Let the subscripts 1 and 2 designate H2 O and NaCl, respectively. Choosing 1 kg of water as a basis, m = n2 . Thus, dierentiation of Eq. (1) with respect to m gives the partial molar volume of NaCl as V 2 = 16.62 + 2.655 m0.5 + 0.24 m = 16.62 + 2.655(0.01)0.5 + 0.24(0.01) = 16.89 cm3 / mol From Eq. (6.2-15) V1 = Vmix n2 V 2 1003.2 (0.01)(16.89) = 18.05 cm3 / mol = n1 1000/18 (1)

Method of tangent intercepts The total volume of a binary mixture is given by emix Vmix = (n1 + n2 ) V (6.2-16)

The partial molar volume of component 1 is i Vmix h e (n1 + n2 ) Vmix V1 = = n1 T,P,n2 n1 T,P,n2 Carrying out the dierentiation gives emix + n V1 =V emix V n1 !

(6.2-23)

Thus, the intercept of the tangent line at x2 = 0 is the partial molar volume of component 1. Similarly, the intercept of the tangent line at x2 = 1 gives the partial molar volume of component 2. For a binary system8 , Eq. (6.2-21) can be generalized as d e mix 1 = e mix x2 constant T and P (6.2-24) dx2 and 2 = e mix x1 d e mix dx1 constant T and P (6.2-25)

is called the partial molar quantity of component i at innite dilution.

Example 6.9 It is required to prepare 1 L of a solution containing 10 weight % of component 1 and 90% of component 2. The stock solution available in the laboratory has the composition of 60 mol % component 1 and 40% of component 2. Determine the volumes of the stock solution and pure component 2 that must be mixed. Data: The molar volume of the mixture (in cm3 / mol) is experimentally determined as emix = 60 x1 + 110 x2 + 5 x1 x2 V

The molecular weights of components 1 and 2 are 40 and 60 g/ mol, respectively. Solution Let X and Y be the volumes (in cm3 ) of the stock solution and pure component 2, respectively, that must be mixed to produce 1 L of desired mixture. The conservation statements for the number of moles of components 1 and 2 are expressed as ! 1000 X inal xf (1) (0.6) = 1 stock f inal e e V V

Determination of the molar volumes of the stock and nal solutions requires the mole fractions to be known. In a binary mixture, the mole fraction, x, is related to the weight fraction, , as 1 M1 1 2 + M1 M2

The molar volume of the nal solution is e f inal = (60)(0.143) + (110)(1 0.143) + (5)(0.143)(1 0.143) = 103.46 cm3 / mol V mix

The molar volume of pure component 2 is emix = 110 cm3 / mol e2 = lim V V
x2 1

Substitution of the numerical values into Eq. (1) gives X = 187.1 cm3 Then the use of Eq. (2) results in Y = 809.8 cm3

Note that X + Y = 187 + 809.8 = 996.8 cm3 < 1000 cm3 , because of volume increase upon mixing.

Thus, Eq. (1) becomes H 1 = 400 x1 + 250 x2 + x1 x2 (15 x1 + 45 x2 ) x2 ( 150 + 15 x1 + 45 x2 90 x2 2)

Any extensive thermodynamic property of a mixture, mix , is dependent on temperature, pressure, and the number of moles of each component present in the mixture, i.e., mix = mix (T, P, n1 , n2 , ..., nk ) (6.2-32)

6.3 PROPERTY CHANGES ON MIXING When two non-identical liquids are mixed, the total property of the mixture, mix , is dierent from the sum of the properties of the pure liquids, i.e., mix 6=

The inequality sign in Eq. (6.3-1) can be removed by the introduction of a "correction factor", mix , so that k X ni e i + mix (6.3-2) mix =

The term mix is called property change on mixing. In other words, property change on mixing represents the dierence between the actual property of the mixture and the total property of the unmixed pure components at the same temperature and pressure. Dividing each term in Eq. (6.3-2) by the total number of moles gives e mix =
k X i=1

Rearrangement of Eq. (6.3-3) gives

As shown in Figure 6.2, property change on mixing may take positive or negative values depending on the interactions between molecules. Note that the dotted line represents the case when e mix is zero.

Among the property changes on mixing, chemical engineers are particularly interested in emix , and the isothermal enthalpy change on mixing the isothermal volume change on mixing, V e (or simply the heat of mixing ), Hmix , both of which have to be determined experimentally. When Vmix > 0, the interactions between unlike molecules are weaker than those between like molecules. On the other hand, if the interactions between unlike molecules are stronger than those between like molecules, then molecules pack themselves more tightly so as Vmix < 0. In the case of heat of mixing, note that the enthalpy change is associated with the change in bond energies. If pure components A and B are mixed to form a mixture, it is necessary to break A-A and B-B bonds to create A-B bonds as shown in Figure 6.3. Bond breaking requires or absorbs energy, i.e., an endothermic process. On the other hand, bond formation releases energy, i.e., an exothermic process.

Figure 6.3 Formation of a binary mixture of species A and B. When A-B bonds are stronger than A-A and B-B bonds, components in the mixture are more stable than pure components and Hmix < 0. On the other hand, when A-A and B-B bonds are stronger than A-B bonds, pure components are more stable than the components in the mixture and Hmix > 0. Example 6.11 When 50 cm3 of liquid A is mixed with 60 cm3 of liquid B, the resulting solution has a volume of 113 cm3 .What can be said about the relative magnitudes of V A and eA , as well as V B and V eB ?

6.3.1 Determination of the Volume Change on Mixing Once the mixture is prepared by specifying the mole fractions of each species, its density as well as the densities of the pure components are measured by a densitometer. Then the volume change on mixing is determined from the following equation: 153

where Mi is the molecular weight of species i and i is the density of pure i. Example 6.12 The following data are reported by Grenner et al. (2006) for a binary mixture of cyclohexanamine (1) and n-heptane (2) at 303.15 K under atmospheric pressure: x1 mix ( g/ cm3 ) 0.0000 0.67532 0.3006 0.71971 0.5000 0.75383 0.7996 0.81268 1.0000 0.85820

The molecular weights of cyclohexanamine and n-heptane are 99.17 and 100.20 g/ mol, respectively. Determine the volume change on mixing as a function of composition. Solution From the given data, pure component densities for cyclohexanamine and n-heptane are 0.85820 and 0.67532 g/ cm3 , respectively. The volume change on mixing can be calculated from Eq. (6.3-5), i.e., 1 1 1 1 e Vmix = x1 M1 + x2 M2 mix 1 mix 2 The calculated values are given below: x1 emix ( cm3 / mol) V 0.3006 0.284 0.5000 0.273 0.7996 0.150

6.3.2 Determination of the Heat of Mixing The heat of mixing data can be obtained by the use of an isothermal ow calorimeter as shown in Figure 6.4. Note that the ow calorimeter is simply a steady-state mixing device.

Pure uid 1 and pure uid 2, both at a temperature T , enter the calorimeter at molar ow rates of n 1 and n 2 , respectively. They are mixed thoroughly by a stirrer to maintain uniform temperature within the calorimeter. Heat is added or removed through the coils placed in the calorimeter so as to keep the temperature of the mixture equal to that of the entering streams. Taking the contents of the calorimeter to be the system, the mass and energy balances are 2 = n mix n 1 + n and +W s e mix n e1 n e2 = Q n mix H 1H 2H Q e mix x1 H e 1 + x2 H e2 = H 1 + n 2 {z } n |

s to be negligible and dividing Eq. (6.3-7) by n mix give Assuming W (6.3-8)

Therefore, once the molar ow rates of the pure streams are xed, one can determine the heat . Carrying out experiments of mixing from Eq. (6.3-8) by measuring the heat transfer rate, Q at dierent ow ratios of the two streams yields the heat of mixing as a function of composition. Experimental determination of the heat of mixing enables one to calculate the molar enthalpy of the mixture from the following equation: e mix = H
k X i=1

Thus, it is possible to plot the enthalpy of the mixture as a function of composition. Such plots, also known as enthalpy-concentration diagrams, are very useful in determining energy balances. Example 6.13 An isothermal mixer at 294 K is fed with a pure sulfuric acid stream of ow rate 160 kg/ min and an aqueous solution stream containing 38 weight % sulfuric acid of ow rate 150 kg/ min. Estimate the rate of heat that must be added or removed so as to keep the temperature of the exit stream at 294 K under steady conditions. The heat of mixing data for the sulfuric acid (1) and water (2) mixture at 294 K is represented by Ross (1952) as h i e mix ( kJ/ mol) = x1 x2 53.531 + 20.869 (x1 x2 ) H

e mix e i + H xi H

(6.3-9)

The pure component enthalpies for sulfuric acid and water are 1.596 and 1.591 kJ/ mol, respectively. Solution The ow diagram of the mixing process is given below:

To calculate the weight fraction of sulfuric acid in stream C , rst it is necessary to write the overall material balance as B =m C m A+m m C = 160 + 150 = 310 kg/ min (4)

On the other hand, the material balance for sulfuric acid is m A+m B ( 1 )B = m C ( 1 )C ( 1 )C = 160 + (150)(0.38) = 0.7 310 (5)

The use of Eq. (3) requires mole fractions of components to be known. The relationship between the weight and mole fractions is given by 1 M1 1 2 + M1 M2

Thus, the mole fractions of sulfuric acid in streams B and C are 0.38 98 0.38 1 0.38 + 98 18 0.7 98 0.7 1 0.7 + 98 18

To determine the molar ow rates of streams B and C , we have to calculate their molecular weights: MB = (0.1)(98) + (0.9)(18) = 26 g/ mol = 26 103 kg/ mol MC = (0.3)(98) + (0.7)(18) = 42 g/ mol = 42 103 kg/ mol 156

Substitution of the numerical values into Eq. (2) gives 160 150 310 ( 11.402) (1.596) ( 4.729) Q= 42 103 98 103 26 103 = 59, 512 kJ/ min indicating that heat must be removed from the system.

Example 6.14 Using the data given in Example 6.13 rst plot the enthalpy-concentration diagram for sulfuric acid (1) and water (2) mixtures at 294 K. Then prove that it is always safer to add acid to water rather than water to acid. Solution The molar enthalpy of the mixture is given by i h e mix ( kJ/ mol) = 1.596 x1 + 1.591 x2 + x1 x2 53.531 + 20.869 (x1 x2 ) H (1)

The heat of mixing is given by e mix = x1 (H 1 H e 1 ) + x2 (H 2 H e2) H (4)

Now, let us consider two cases:

Process A (Adding a small amount of acid to a very large amount of water) If 1 g of H2 SO4 is added to 1000 g of H2 O, then 1 98 = 1.84 104 x1 = 1000 1 + 98 18
e 2 . Thus, Eq. (4) simplies to Since x1 x2 , then H 1 = H 1 and H 2 ' H e mix e 1 ) = 1.84 104 ( 72, 804 1596) = 13.7 J/ mol H = x1 (H 1 H Process A

(3)

Process B (Adding a small amount of water to a very large amount of acid) If 1 g of H2 O is added to 1000 g of H2 SO4 , then 1 18 = 5.42 103 x2 = 1000 1 + 98 18

e 1 and H 2 = H Since x2 x1 , then H 1 ' H 2 . Thus, Eq. (4) simplies to e mix e 2 ) = 5.42 103 ( 31, 071 1591) = 177 J/ mol H = x2 (H 2 H
Process B

Note that mixing is exothermic for both processes. However, more heat is released when water is added to acid. This may lead to violent boiling of the solution and splashing of the acid. Therefore, acid should be slowly added to water to prevent boiling.

Once property change on mixing, e mix , is determined experimentally as a function of mole fraction, the next step is to t the data and to express property change on mixing as a 158

The term x1 x2 originates from the fact that e mix becomes zero for a pure component, i.e., x1 = 1 (or x2 = 0) and x2 = 1 (or x1 = 0). In the literature, it is customary to express f (x1 , x2 ) in polynomial form as
N e mix X = Ai (x1 x2 )i1 = A1 + A2 (x1 x2 ) + A3 (x1 x2 )2 + ... x1 x2 i=1

function of composition. For a binary system, for example, such a relationship is expressed by the following equation: (6.3-10) e mix = x1 x2 f (x1 , x2 )

which is known as the Redlich-Kister type expansion. e mix for Example 6.15 Conti et al. (1997) reported the following experimental values of H a binary system of chloroform (1) and cyclohexane (2) at 298 K: x1 0.0563 0.0563 0.1643 0.2520 0.2666 e mix ( J/ mol) H 150.8 147.4 375.2 500.1 519.0 x1 0.2666 0.3661 0.4732 0.4732 0.5740 e mix ( J/ mol) H 520.2 609.6 630.9 644.3 618.7 x1 0.5740 0.6690 0.7587 0.8435 0.9238 e H mix ( J/ mol) 618.1 567.7 478.3 351.5 199.7

6.3.3 Determination of Partial Molar Quantities from e mix

One of the practical questions to ask is how to determine partial molar quantities once a property change on mixing is determined as a function of composition. For a binary mixture, the molar property of a mixture is given by e 1 + x2 e 2 ) + e mix e mix = (x1 160 (6.3-12)

On the other hand, Eq. (6.2-24) gives the partial molar property of component 1 as e mix 1 = e mix x2 (6.3-13) x2 T,P,n2 Substitution of Eq. (6.3-12) into Eq. (6.3-13) gives " 1 = x1 e 1 + x2 e 2 + e mix x2 e2 + e1 + 1 e 1 = e mix x2 e mix x2 # (6.3-14)

6.4 THE GIBBS-DUHEM EQUATION The Gibbs-Duhem equation gives a relationship between the partial molar properties of dierent components in a mixture. For any thermodynamic property, the total property of the mixture is expressed as k X mix = ni i (6.4-1)
i=1 k X i=1 k X i=1

Dierentiation of Eq. (6.4-1) gives

dmix =

ni di +

i dni

(6.4-2)

On the other hand, the total property of the mixture, mix , is a function of temperature, pressure, and the number of moles of each component present in the mixture, i.e., mix = mix (T, P, n1 , n2 , ..., nk ) 161 (6.4-3)

At constant temperature and pressure Eq. (6.4-4) simplies to dmix = The use of Eq. (6.4-5) in Eq. (6.4-2) leads to
k X i=1 k X i=1

The total dierential of mix is k X mix mix mix dmix = dT + dP + dni T P ni T,P,nj 6=i P,nj T,nj i=1 | {z }

constant T and P

(6.4-7)

which is known as the Gibbs-Duhem equation under the conditions of constant temperature and pressure. For simplicity let us consider a binary mixture and exploit the practical uses of the GibbsDuhem equation. For a binary mixture, Eq. (6.4-7) simplies to x1 d1 + x2 d2 = 0 Dierentiation of Eq. (6.4-8) with respect to x1 results in x1 d1 d + x2 2 = 0 dx1 dx1 constant T and P (6.4-9) (6.4-8)

The Gibbs-Duhem equation, Eq. (6.4-9), can be used for the following purposes: If the partial molar quantity of one of the species is known, the partial molar quantity of the other species can be calculated from Eq. (6.4-9). If the partial molar quantities of both species are experimentally determined, the expressions for 1 and 2 should satisfy the Gibbs-Duhem equation. Therefore, the Gibbs-Duhem equation is quite useful for checking whether the experimental data are thermodynamically consistent or not. Example 6.16 If the partial molar volume of component 1 in a binary mixture at constant T and P is given by e1 + x2 V1 =V 2 e1 is the molar volume of pure 1, nd the corresponding equation for V 2 . where V

Solution

For = V , the Gibbs-Duhem equation, Eq. (6.4-9), is written as x1 dV 1 dV 2 + x2 =0 dx1 dx1 constant T & P (1)

162

The term dV 1 /dx1 becomes i dV 1 d he = V1 + (1 x1 )2 = 2 (1 x1 ) = 2 x2 dx1 dx1 dV 1 dV 1 d e = = V1 + x2 2 = 2 x2 dx1 dx2 dx2 dV 2 = 2 x1 dx1 Integration of Eq. (3) leads to V 2 = x2 1+C (4) e2 . This gives C = V e2 The constant C is evaluated by using the fact that as x1 0, V 2 V and the partial molar volume of species 2 is expressed in the form e2 + x2 V2 =V 1 (3) (2)

It is also possible to evaluate the same term as

Substitution of Eq. (2) into Eq. (1) gives

The generalized form of Eq. (6.4-9) for a k-component system is given in Problem 6.29.
