Gibbs energy excess-property relation

The residual Gibbs energy and the fugacity coefficient are useful where experimental PVT data can be adequately correlated by equations of state. Indeed, if convenient treatment or all fluids by means of equations of state were possible, the thermodynamic-property relations already presented would suffice. However, liquid solutions are often more easily dealt with through properties that measure their deviations from ideal solution behavior, not from ideal gas behavior. Thus, the mathematical formahsm of excess properties is analogous to that of the residual properties. 

Thermodynamics gives limited information on each of the three coefficients which appear on the right-hand side of Eq. (1). The first term can be related to the partial molar enthalpy and the second to the partial molar volume the third term cannot be expressed in terms of any fundamental thermodynamic property, but it can be conveniently related to the excess Gibbs energy which, in turn, can be described by a solution model. For a complete description of phase behavior we must say something about each of these three coefficients for each component, in every phase. In high-pressure work, it is important to give particular attention to the second coefficient, which tells us how phase behavior is affected by pressure. 

We note with respect to this equation that all terms have the units of m moreover, in contrast to Eq. (10.2), the enthalpy rather than the entropy app on the right-hand side. Equation (13.12) is a general relation expressing as a function of all of its canonical variables, T, P, and the mole numb reduces to Eq. (6.29) for the special case of 1 mole of a constant-compo phase. Equations (6.30) and (6.31) follow from either equation, and equ for the other thermodynamic properties then come from appropriate def equations. Knowledge of G/RT as a function of its canonical variables evaluation of all other thermodynamic properties, and therefore implicitly tains complete property information. However, we cannot directly exploit characteristic, and in practice we deal with related properties, the residual excess Gibbs energies. 

The next step is to perform a simultaneous regression of NaCl(aq) apparent molal volumes from 25-350 C. Over this wide range of temperature, however, and particularly above 300 C, standard-state properties based on the infinitely dilute reference state exhibit a very complex behavior (7,8), which is related to various peculiarities of the solvent. Thus in their representation of NaCl(aq) volumetric properties, Rogers and Pitzer (7) adopted a reference composition of a hydrated fused salt, NaCl IOH2O, to minimize the P and T dependence of the reference state volume and to adequately fit volumetric ta to 300°C and 1 kb. In this study the (supercooled) fused salt is used as the reference state. The equation for the apparent molal volume on this basis can be easily derived from that for the excess Gibbs energy of Pitzer and Simonson (, and is given by ... 

Hence, the total excess Gibbs energy ean be easily determined from experimental values of activity coefficients, as it will be shown in the next section. Because In /, is a partial property, the following relation may be written ... 

The energy of vaporization is not accessible for polymers, but cohesive energy density of polymers can be determined from PVT-data. However, common ways for determining polymer solubility parameters use thermodynamic properties of polymer solutions and their relations to excess enthalpy or excess Gibbs energy per unit volume. These excess quantities are related to the (square) difference between the solubility parameters of solvents and polymers, i.e. (d -... 

The ideal solution assumes equal strength of self- and cross-interactions between components. When this is not the case, the solution deviates from ideal behavior. Deviations are simple to detect upon mixing, nonideal solutions exhibit volume changes (expansion or contraction) and exhibit heat effects that can be measured. Such deviations are quantified via the excess properties. An important new property that we encounter in this chapter is the activity coefficient. It is related to the excess Gibbs free energy and is central to the calculation of the phase diagram. 

The route to an activity coefficient is through an expression for the dimensionless excess Gibbs energy, g /RT, to which In y, is related as a partial molar property ... 

Excess properties, the difference between the property in a real solution and in an ideal solution, are generally expressed as a relative or relative partial molar properties, such as the relative enthalpy, L, or relative partial molar enthalpy, L. The Gibbs energy is treated differently. The fact that Gj-p is a thermodynanoic potential leads naturally to the definition of a relative partial molar Gibbs energy (q. - /a°) which is not the difference from an ideal solution (/A — pL° is not zero even for an ideal solution) but the difference from a standard state, which in this chapter is a pure phase, but may also be some hypothetical state. The form of the equation relating q, - to composition then... 

The excess thermodynamic properties correlated with phase transitions are conveniently described in terms of a macroscopic order parameter Q. Formal relations between Q and the excess thermodynamic properties associated with a transition are conveniently derived by expanding the Gibbs free energy of transition in terms of a Landau potential ...
