Mixing, entropy free enthalpy

Using an automated film balance the behavior of mixed monomolecular films exhibiting deviations from ideality was studied. Particular attention was paid to condensation effects obtained when cholesterol is mixed with a more expanded component. The deviations at various film pressures are discussed in terms of the partial molecular areas of the film components. Slope changes in these plots are caused by phase transitions of the expanded monolayer component and do not indicate the formation of surface complexes. In addition, the excess free energies, entropies, and enthalpies of mixing were evaluated, but these parameters could be interpreted only for systems involving pure expanded components, for which it is clear that the observed condensation effects must involve molecular interactions. 

These simple equations for the mixing terms of the molar free enthalpy and entropy are characteristic for perfect solutions and are identical with those for ideal gas mixtures. 

We also see that the excess free enthalpy GE is differentiated with respect to the temperature and the number of moles of the solution to give the excess entropy SF and the partial molar excess free energy of mixing RTlnyi as follows ... 

A discrepancy in free enthalpy between the perfect solution and the non-ideal solution, if the reference system is symmetrical, is generally expressed by the excess free enthalpy GE, which consists of the enthalpy term HE and the entropy term -TSE i.e. GE = HE - TSE. Two situations arise accordingly in non-ideal solutions depending on which of the two terms, He and - TSE, is dominant The non-ideal solution is called regular, if its deviation from the perfect solution is caused mostly by the excess enthalpy (heat of mixing) HE ... 

The same result is obtained for mixtures of two perfect gases. Because there are no interactions between the individual particles of perfect gases (atoms or molecules) the decrease in the free enthalpy during mixing can be traced back to the increase in entropy. Mixing increases the disorder of the system. 

For regular solutions [i , the partial free enthalpy (chemical potential) of substance B in solution, calculated with respect to the solid state, also contains the partial heat of mixing Au (the entropy is equal to that of the ideal case). From the expression for A U on p. 358 we have for the partial heat of mixing ...

More general statements can be obtained from mixed phase thermodynamics. The dimension p may be an extensive state variable, e.g., volume V, enthalpy H, free enthalpy G = H-(T-S), and entropy S. The value of the state variable dimension is a function of pressure p, temperature T, and the amount of substances otc. of its components. The total differential di of the state variable y/ is... 

In Equation 5, G is the change in free energy on mixing, H is enthalpy, T is temperature, and S is entropy. With polymers, only a few blend pairs are compatible. This originates from extremely large aspect ratios (length/diameter) of the polymer chains, which lead to very small values of S. In addition, the crystal structures must be compatible if the blend components are crystalline polymers. For synergistic mechanical properties, the polymers should form a cocrystalline structure. 

From the thermodynamic viewpoint, miscibility is determined by the molar Gibb s free energy of mixing (AG ) which in turn is governed by the combinatorial molar entropy of mixing and molar enthalpy of mixing as shown in... 

For polymers the contribution of the entropy of mixing ASm to the free enthalpy of mixing AGm is small. According to the lattice model of Flory/Huggins (Sperling 1986), AGm is assumed to be...
