Partial molar energy

The heat evolved will now be a differential heat of adsorption, equal at constant volume to Qd or per mole, to qd - AI2, where Ae2 is the change in partial molar energy. It follows that... 

Next we differentiate Eq. (8-44) with respect to 2, obtaining the partial molar energy of mixing of 2 in 1 ... 

It also follows from the second law of thermodynamics that the partial molar energy C/uii of each component is dependent only on the temperature and is independent of the pressure. We make part of the dehnition of an ideal gas mixture that U i is independent of the composition. 

ZnCl2 vapour pressures, activities and partial molar energies have been determined for the fused salt system shown in equation (7). Deviations from ideality at high ZnQ2 concentrations are attributed to partial covalent bonding in ZnCl2, while deviations at low ZnCl2 concentrations are attributed to formation of complex ions.958,959... 

The term RTInyt accounts for the nonideality of the solution (it is also referred to as the partial molar energy). As it can be seen from Equation (5), the terms on the right side, except Tlrvyt, are calculated from the pure properties. However, in order to have an accurate prediction of the chemical potential of any species in the solution, RT/ny, should be known as well. In general, the activity coefficient is a function of temperature and composition and to a much less extent, the pressure. Because the activity coefficient is defined for a liquid solution, the pressure has very little effect on it. However, temperature and mole fractions of the species have significant effects on the activity coefficient of each species in a solution. 

The experimental partial molar energy of the solute s is given by... 

In this representation, we identify the partial molar energies of the various quasi-components as... 

Thus, the partial molar energy of the v -species is equal to its average kinetic energy and half of its BE.

There was, however, one important follow-up paper, by Buff and Brout (1955). The reader may have noticed that the Kirkwood-Buff paper concerns exclusively those properties of solutions that can be obtained from the grand potential by differentiation with respect to pressure or particle number. Those such as partial molar energies, entropies, heat capacities, and so forth, are completely ignored. The original KB theory is an isothermal theory. The Buff-Brout paper completes the story by extending the theory to those properties derivable by differentiation with respect to the temperature. Because these functions can involve molecular distribution functions of higher order than the second, they are not as useful as the original KB theory. Yet they do provide a coherent framework for a complete theory of solution thermodynamics and not just the isothermal part. 

Ni is the number of molecules of component i Ui is its partial molar energy... 

Thus, the partial molar energy of the v -cule is equal to its average kinetic energy and half of its BE. Here again, the partial molar energy does not depend on composition, although it still depends on T through... 

Since it is the free energy of a solution which is a property of Interest, we must know the contribution of each component of a system to the total free energy. The partial molar energy is the amount of free energy contributed by each component of the system. It is an intensive variable and is often called the chemical potential, sjmibolized by p . 

Equation (15.4.14) is an extension of the Fourier equation for heat transport with the addition of a heat source Oheat- It is useful to note that the term Vm = J2 duk/Qni) Vrii + duk/QT)S/T. For ideal systems, in the absence of temperature gradients, since the partial molar energy Uk independent of rik, this term will vanish it is the heat generated or absorbed due to molecular interaction when the number density of a nonideal system changes. In the following chapters we shall not consider systems with convection. In addition, we will only consider situations in which the kinetic energy of diffusion remains small, so the term 9(KE)/0t = 0. 

Note carefully that, contrary to what is sometimes asserted in the literature, one cannot always set the partial molar energy E equal to Eln. Here, one must be careful to take partial derivatives as shown. 

If the method is to be applied to the partial molar Gibbs energy, the partial molar energy, the partial molar enthalpy, or the partial molar entropy, the second version of the method must be used since the actual values of G, U, H, and S are not defined (they can have any constants added to their values without physical effect). 

By the end of the nineteenth century this focus had begun to change and applications of classical thermodynamics to chemical changes (referred to as chemical thermodynamics) had become a popular subject of study [5], In principle, specifying molecules and molecular reactions in a solution phase posed no problem to classical thermodynamics. The chemical potential expressed partial molar energy changes as the molecular composition of a phase was changed. However, evaluation of the chemical potential turned out to be elusive. To appreciate this problem requires a careful examination of the chemical potential. 

In this equation mi, si and v are the partial molar energy, entropy and volume of the species identified by subscript 1. Since the total Gibbs function, G, is the sum of the type of functions shown in (19), it is as if each species has its own private Gibbs function. Equation 19 shows that chemical potential has the same form as the Gibbs function, hence it is also called the partial molar Gibbs function.
