Isochoric change

The equilibrium conditions for an adiabatic and isochoric change of state are given by. 

In this equation R represents the number of restrictions imposed on the system. While the value for isothermal, isobaric or isochoric changes are obvious, the restrictions imposed by chemical reactions are often more subtle. For example, liquid water will exist as a mixture of H2O, and OH ... 

Do not confuse the heat capacity at constant volume for heat capacity at constant pressure. For a change in a gaseous system, you must know whether the change is a constant pressure change (called an isobaric change) or a constant volume change (called an isochoric change) in order to determine which heat capacity is the correct one for the calculation of heat, AU, AH, or both. 

If we draw the two isochores imiii, i 2< 2, on the indicator diagram (Fig. 14), all the paths of change must lie within these limits, which fix the range or amplitude of the process. Let the initial state ( i, T) be a, and let the gas expand isothermally and reversibly to a the maximum work AT is represented by the area aa vtf i, which is shown later to be ...

The Van t Hoff isotherm establishes the relationship between the standard free energy change and the equilibrium constant. It is of interest to know how the equilibrium constant of a reaction varies with temperature. The Varft Hoff isochore allows one to calculate the effect of temperature on the equilibrium constant. It can be readily obtained by combining the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation with the Varft Hoffisotherm. The relationship that is obtained is... 

The value of R(partition) changes with temperature the temperature dependence of an equilibrium constant is given by the van t Hoff isochore ... 

The second path consists of [1] an adiabatic reversible expansion to Vi, and a temperature T less than Tj, and [2] an isochoric temperature increase from T to Tj,. The entropy change for the gas is again given by the sum of the changes for the two steps ...

A gel can be viewed as a container of solvent made of a three dimensional mesh [9,10]. In a dried state, a gel is a solid material. However, a gel swells until it reaches the swelling equilibrium when a solvent is added. The solvent molecules are kept in the three dimensional mesh and the combination of the mesh and the solvent molecules creates a world having characteristic properties which will be described later. This world can be either isolated from (isochore) or linked to (isobar) its surrounding world by changing the population, i.e. the solvent molecules. 

Figure 11.5 compares the fluid entropy vectors, whose lengths range from about 0.25 (ideal gas) to about 0.75 (ether). As expected, the entropy vectors exhibit an approximate inverted or complementary (conjugate) relationship to the corresponding T vectors of Fig. 11.3. The length of each S vector reflects resistance to attempted temperature change (under isobaric conditions), i.e., the capacity to absorb heat with little temperature response. The lack of strict inversion order with respect to the T lengths of Table 11.3 reflects subtle heat-capacity variations between isochoric and isobaric conditions, as quantified in the heat-capacity or compressibility ratio...

The swelling behavior of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) has been studied extensively [18,19]. It has been shown that this gel has a lower critical point due to the hydrophobic interaction. Such a swelling curve is schematically illustrated in Fig. 9. The gel is swollen at a lower temperature and collapses at a higher temperature if the sample gel is allowed to swell freely in water. The volume of the gel changes discontinuously at 33.6°C. The swelling curves obtained in this way correspond to the isobar at zero osmotic pressure. On the other hand, the friction coefficient is measured along the isochore, which is given in Fig. 9,...
