Page 1 of 6 This Is Henry's Law. It Says That at Equilibrium the Ratio of Dissolved NH3 to the Partial Pressure of NH3 Gas In CHMY 361 HANDOUT#6 October 28, 2012 HOMEWORK #4 Key Was due Friday, Oct. 26 1. Using only data from Table A5, what is the boiling point of water deep in a mine that is so far below sea level that the atmospheric pressure is 1.17 atm? 0 ΔH vap = +44.02 kJ/mol H20(l) --> H2O(g) Q= PH2O /XH2O = K, at ⎛ P2 ⎞ ⎛ K 2 ⎞ ΔH vap ⎛ 1 1 ⎞ ln⎜ ⎟ = ln⎜ ⎟ − ⎜ − ⎟ equilibrium, i.e., the Vapor Pressure ⎝ P1 ⎠ ⎝ K1 ⎠ R ⎝ T2 T1 ⎠ for the pure liquid. ⎛1.17 ⎞ 44,020 ⎛ 1 1 ⎞ ln⎜ ⎟ = − ⎜ − ⎟ = 1 8.3145 ⎜ T 373 ⎟ ⎝ ⎠ ⎝ 2 ⎠ ⎡1.17⎤ − 8.3145ln 1 ⎢ 1 ⎥ 1 = ⎣ ⎦ + = .002651 T2 44,020 373 T2 = 377 2. From table A5, calculate the Henry’s Law constant (i.e., equilibrium constant) for dissolving of NH3(g) in water at 298 K and 340 K. It should have units of Matm-1;What would it be in atm per mole fraction, as in Table 5.1 at 298 K? o For NH3(g) ----> NH3(aq) ΔG = -26.5 - (-16.45) = -10.05 kJ/mol ΔG0 − [NH (aq)] K = e RT = 0.0173 = 3 This is Henry’s Law. It says that at equilibrium the ratio of dissolved P NH3 NH3 to the partial pressure of NH3 gas in contact with the liquid is a constant = 0.0173 (Henry’s Law Constant). This also says [NH3(aq)] =0.0173PNH3 or -1 PNH3 = 0.0173 [NH3(aq)] = 57.8 atm/M x [NH3(aq)] The latter form is like Table 5.1 except it has NH3 concentration in M instead of XNH3. Need the convert [NH3(aq)] to XNH3(aq) Mole fraction of a 1 M solution in water is 1/(55 +1) = 1/56 = 0.018 moles NH3 / total moles. -1 -1 So, the conversion factor is: XNH3 = molL NH3 x 0.018 mol fraction/molL -1 -1 57.8 atmM /0.018 M (mol fraction)M = 3200 atm (per mol fraction dissolved NH3 ) Note: this is similar to that for CO2 in Table 5.1, another fairly soluble gas. Page 1 of 6 3. (a) How many moles of N2 gas are dissolved in the blood of a diver before entering the water. Assume 2.0 L of blood. (Use Table 5.1) (b) How many liters of gas at 1 atm and 298 K does this number of moles equal? (c) 1 atmosphere = 760 mm of Hg. What is 1 atm in feet of water? (d) If a diver stays at a depth in the water that is the answer to (c) until equilibrium is reached, what volume of N2 gas would be released from the blood if the diver came to the surface quickly? [Note, you don't have to find the answer to (c) in order to know the answer to (d) ] a. 2.0 L blood (assume it is pure water) has close to 2.0 kg / .018kg mol-1 = 111 mol water PN 0.78 atm at 1 atm air and 298 K, X dissolved = 2 = = 9.18 ×10−6 N2 k 85000 atm N2 −6 mols N 2 dissolved = 9.18 ×10 x 111 = 0.00102 nRT 0.00102 x 0.0821 x 298 PV = nRT V = = = 0.025 L = 25 mL P 1 nRT 0.00102 x 0.0821 x 298 b. PV = nRT V = = = 0.025 L = 25 mL P 1 c. 0.76 m Hg x 3.28 ft/m = 2.49 ft Hg. Hg is 13.6 time more dense, so 2.49 ft Hg x 13.6 ft H2O/ft Hg =33.9 ft H20 = 1 atm d. At this depth the total pressure would be 2 atm: 1 atm from the atmosphere and 1atm from the water, meaning that exactly twice the amount of N2 would be dissolved than at the surface. Thus 25 ml of N2 gas would be released as bubbles into the blood. The bubbles clog capillaries, causing low oxygen delivery to tissue. 4. Consider a 1x10-4 M polymer solution inside a dialysis bag that is permeable to the ligand, A, but not to the polymer. The following measurements of the free ligand outside the bag and total ligand inside the bag are measured at 3 equilibrium values. The units are M. From a Scatchard plot find Kd for the binding of A to its binding sites on the polymer and the number of binding sites per polymer molecule.

If the partition coefficient for solute B = [Bmethanol]/ [Bwater] = 0.010, and the solubility of B in water is 0.10 M at 25o C, answer the following: (a)What is ΔGo for the process B(methanol) --> B(aq)? (b) What is ΔGo for the process B(methanol) --> B(s)? (c) What is ΔGo for the process B(aq) --> B(s)? a. ΔGo for B(aq) --> B(methanol) = -RTln K = -8.3145 x 298 x ln( 0.01) = 11,400 J/mol (could have been written by inspection as 2 x 5,700). Therefore ΔGo for B(methanol) --> B(aq) = -11,400 J/mol o c. K for B(s) --> B(aq) is given as 0.1 M , so by inspection ΔG for this 5,700 J/mol Therefore ΔGo for B(aq) --> B(s) = -5,700 J/mol b. Adding the processes of a. and c. gives B(methanol) --> B(s). Therefore adding the ΔGo values of a. and c. gives the answer = -11,400 -5,700 = -22,100 J/mol 6. In certain mitochondria, the oxidation of glucose products pumps protons into the intermembrane space between the double membrane to reach a pH of 4.8. In the interior of the mitochondrian, the pH is 7.2. In addition, the intermembrane space has an electric potential difference of +80 mV relative to the interior. (“membrane potential” is -80 mV) This problem is very much like Prob. 5 of Chap. 5, with solution given in the Appendix. (a) ATP is synthesized by the combined free energy change of the protons flowing down the concentration gradient from the intermembrane space to the interior and the change of electrical free energy coming from the voltage difference.

  • Solutes and Solution
    Solutes and Solution The first rule of solubility is “likes dissolve likes” Polar or ionic substances are soluble in polar solvents Non-polar substances are soluble in non- polar solvents Solutes and Solution There must be a reason why a substance is soluble in a solvent: either the solution process lowers the overall enthalpy of the system (Hrxn < 0) Or the solution process increases the overall entropy of the system (Srxn > 0) Entropy is a measure of the amount of disorder in a system—entropy must increase for any spontaneous change 1 Solutes and Solution The forces that drive the dissolution of a solute usually involve both enthalpy and entropy terms Hsoln < 0 for most species The creation of a solution takes a more ordered system (solid phase or pure liquid phase) and makes more disordered system (solute molecules are more randomly distributed throughout the solution) Saturation and Equilibrium If we have enough solute available, a solution can become saturated—the point when no more solute may be accepted into the solvent Saturation indicates an equilibrium between the pure solute and solvent and the solution solute + solvent solution KC 2 Saturation and Equilibrium solute + solvent solution KC The magnitude of KC indicates how soluble a solute is in that particular solvent If KC is large, the solute is very soluble If KC is small, the solute is only slightly soluble Saturation and Equilibrium Examples: + - NaCl(s) + H2O(l) Na (aq) + Cl (aq) KC = 37.3 A saturated solution of NaCl has a [Na+] = 6.11 M and [Cl-] =

  • THE SOLUBILITY of GASES in LIQUIDS Introductory Information C
    THE SOLUBILITY OF GASES IN LIQUIDS Introductory Information C. L. Young, R. Battino, and H. L. Clever INTRODUCTION The Solubility Data Project aims to make a comprehensive search of the literature for data on the solubility of gases, liquids and solids in liquids. Data of suitable accuracy are compiled into data sheets set out in a uniform format. The data for each system are evaluated and where data of sufficient accuracy are available values are recommended and in some cases a smoothing equation is given to represent the variation of solubility with pressure and/or temperature. A text giving an evaluation and recommended values and the compiled data sheets are published on consecutive pages. The following paper by E. Wilhelm gives a rigorous thermodynamic treatment on the solubility of gases in liquids. DEFINITION OF GAS SOLUBILITY The distinction between vapor-liquid equilibria and the solubility of gases in liquids is arbitrary. It is generally accepted that the equilibrium set up at 300K between a typical gas such as argon and a liquid such as water is gas-liquid solubility whereas the equilibrium set up between hexane and cyclohexane at 350K is an example of vapor-liquid equilibrium. However, the distinction between gas-liquid solubility and vapor-liquid equilibrium is often not so clear. The equilibria set up between methane and propane above the critical temperature of methane and below the criti­ cal temperature of propane may be classed as vapor-liquid equilibrium or as gas-liquid solubility depending on the particular range of pressure considered and the particular worker concerned.

  • Introduction to the Solubility of Liquids in Liquids
    INTRODUCTION TO THE SOLUBILITY OF LIQUIDS IN LIQUIDS The Solubility Data Series is made up of volumes of comprehensive and critically evaluated solubility data on chemical systems in clearly defined areas. Data of suitable precision are presented on data sheets in a uniform format, preceded for each system by a critical evaluation if more than one set of data is available. In those systems where data from different sources agree sufficiently, recommended values are pro­ posed. In other cases, values may be described as "tentative", "doubtful" or "rejected". This volume is primarily concerned with liquid-liquid systems, but related gas-liquid and solid-liquid systems are included when it is logical and convenient to do so. Solubilities at elevated and low 'temperatures and at elevated pressures may be included, as it is considered inappropriate to establish artificial limits on the data presented. For some systems the two components are miscible in all proportions at certain temperatures or pressures, and data on miscibility gap regions and upper and lower critical solution temperatures are included where appropriate and if available. TERMINOLOGY In this volume a mixture (1,2) or a solution (1,2) refers to a single liquid phase containing components 1 and 2, with no distinction being made between solvent and solute. The solubility of a substance 1 is the relative proportion of 1 in a mixture which is saturated with respect to component 1 at a specified temperature and pressure. (The term "saturated" implies the existence of equilibrium with respect to the processes of mass transfer between phases) • QUANTITIES USED AS MEASURES OF SOLUBILITY Mole fraction of component 1, Xl or x(l): ml/Ml nl/~ni = r(m.IM.)

Dry air and moist air. Readings: Turco: p.11-27, 38-43, 366-367, 490-492; Brimblecombe: p. 1-5 1. Composition of air. The word atmosphere derives from the Greek atmo (vapor) and spherios (sphere). The Earth’s atmosphere is a mixture of gases that we call air. Air usually contains a number of small particles (atmospheric aerosols), clouds of condensed water, and ice cloud. NOTE : The atmosphere is a thin veil of gases; if our planet were the size of an apple, its atmosphere would be thick as the apple peel. Some 80% of the mass of the atmosphere is within 10 km of the surface of the Earth, which has a diameter of about 12,742 km. The Earth’s atmosphere as a mixture of gases is characterized by pressure, temperature, and density which vary with altitude (will be discussed in Lecture 4). The atmosphere below about 100 km is called Homosphere. This part of the atmosphere consists of uniform mixtures of gases as illustrated in Table 3.1. 1 Table 3.1. The composition of air.

  • Dissolved Oxygen in the Blood
    Chapter 1 – Dissolved Oxygen in the Blood Say we have a volume of blood, which we’ll represent as a beaker of fluid. Now let’s include oxygen in the gas above the blood (represented by the green circles). The oxygen exerts a certain amount of partial pressure, which is a measure of the concentration of oxygen in the gas (represented by the pink arrows). This pressure causes some of the oxygen to become dissolved in the blood. If we raise the concentration of oxygen in the gas, it will have a higher partial pressure, and consequently more oxygen will become dissolved in the blood. Keep in mind that what we are describing is a dynamic process, with oxygen coming in and out of the blood all the time, in order to maintain a certain concentration of dissolved oxygen. This is known as a) low partial pressure of oxygen b) high partial pressure of oxygen dynamic equilibrium. As you might expect, lowering the oxygen concentration in the gas would lower its partial pressure and a new equilibrium would be established with a lower dissolved oxygen concentration. In fact, the concentration of DISSOLVED oxygen in the blood (the CdO2) is directly proportional to the partial pressure of oxygen (the PO2) in the gas. This is known as Henry's Law. In this equation, the constant of proportionality is called the solubility coefficient of oxygen in blood (aO2). It is equal to 0.0031 mL / mmHg of oxygen / dL of blood. With these units, the dissolved oxygen concentration must be measured in mL / dL of blood, and the partial pressure of oxygen must be measured in mmHg.

    Chemistry C3102-2006: Polymers Section Dr. Edie Sevick, Research School of Chemistry, ANU 5.0 Thermodynamics of Polymer Solutions In this section, we investigate the solubility of polymers in small molecule solvents. Solubility, whether a chain goes “into solution”, i.e. is dissolved in solvent, is an important property. Full solubility is advantageous in processing of polymers; but it is also important for polymers to be fully insoluble - think of plastic shoe soles on a rainy day! So far, we have briefly touched upon thermodynamic solubility of a single chain- a “good” solvent swells a chain, or mixes with the monomers, while a“poor” solvent “de-mixes” the chain, causing it to collapse upon itself. Whether two components mix to form a homogeneous solution or not is determined by minimisation of a free energy. Here we will express free energy in terms of canonical variables T,P,N , i.e., temperature, pressure, and number (of moles) of molecules. The free energy { } expressed in these variables is the Gibbs free energy G G(T,P,N). (1) ≡ In previous sections, we referred to the Helmholtz free energy, F , the free energy in terms of the variables T,V,N . Let ∆Gm denote the free eneregy change upon homogeneous mix- { } ing. For a 2-component system, i.e. a solute-solvent system, this is simply the difference in the free energies of the solute-solvent mixture and pure quantities of solute and solvent: ∆Gm G(T,P,N , N ) (G0(T,P,N )+ G0(T,P,N )), where the superscript 0 denotes the ≡ 1 2 − 1 2 pure component.

Number Base unit Eg : 2 kg, 4 meters , 60 seconds ➢ Manipulations Possible : • If the nature & base unit are the same, direct addition / subtraction is permitted 2 m + 4 m = 6m ; 5 kg – 2.5 kg = 2.5 kg • If the nature is the same but the base unit is different , say, 1 m + 10 c m both m and the cm are length units but do not represent identical quantity, Equivalence considered 2 options are available. 1 m is equivalent to 100 cm So, 100 cm + 10 cm = 110 cm 0.01 m is equivalent to 1 cm 1 m + 10 (0.01) m = 1. 1 m • If the nature of the quantity is different, addition / subtraction is NOT possible. Factors used to check equivalence are known as Conversion Factors. GP-CPC-01 UNITS – CONVERSION (2) • For multiplication / division, there are no such restrictions. They give rise to a set called derived units Even if there is divergence in the nature, multiplication / division can be carried out. Eg : Velocity ( length divided by time ) Mass flow rate (Mass divided by time) Mass Flux ( Mass divided by area (Length 2) – time). Force (Mass * Acceleration = Mass * Length / time 2) In derived units, each unit is to be individually converted to suit the requirement Density = 500 kg / m3 .

  • Topic720 Composition: Mole Fraction: Molality: Concentration a Solution Comprises at Least Two Different Chemical Substances
    Topic720 Composition: Mole Fraction: Molality: Concentration A solution comprises at least two different chemical substances where at least one substance is in vast molar excess. The term ‘solution’ is used to describe both solids and liquids. Nevertheless the term ‘solution’ in the absence of the word ‘solid’ refers to a liquid. Chemists are particularly expert at identifying the number and chemical formulae of chemical substances present in a given closed system. Here we explore how the chemical composition of a given system is expressed. We consider a simple system prepared using water()l and urea(s) at ambient temperature and pressure. We designate water as chemical substance 1 and urea as chemical substance j, so that the closed system contains an aqueous solution. The amounts of the two substances are given by n1 = = ()wM11 and nj ()wMjj where w1 and wj are masses; M1 and Mj are the molar masses of the two chemical substances. In these terms, n1 and nj are extensive variables. = ⋅ + ⋅ Mass of solution, w n1 M1 n j M j (a) = ⋅ Mass of solvent, w1 n1 M1 (b) = -1 For water, M1 0.018 kg mol . However in reviewing the properties of solutions, chemists prefer intensive composition variables. Mole Fraction The mole fractions of the two substances x1 and xj are given by the following two equations: =+ =+ xnnn111()j xnnnjj()1 j (c) += Here x1 x j 10. In general terms for a system comprising i - chemical substances, the mole fraction of substance k is given by equation (d). ji= = xnkk/ ∑ n j (d) j=1 ji= = Hence ∑ x j 10.
