Partial molar volume ethanol

P rtl IMol r Properties. The properties of individual components in a mixture or solution play an important role in solution thermodynamics. These properties, which represent molar derivatives of such extensive quantities as Gibbs free energy and entropy, are called partial molar properties. For example, in a Hquid mixture of ethanol and water, the partial molar volume of ethanol and the partial molar volume of water have values that are, in general, quite different from the volumes of pure ethanol and pure water at the same temperature and pressure (21). If the mixture is an ideal solution, the partial molar volume of a component in solution is the same as the molar volume of the pure material at the same temperature and pressure. 

Numeric values for these volumes of solution that contain a fixed quantity (one mole) of water are listed in Column 5. The partial molar volumes can be determined by computing the derivative of the quantity in Column 5, the volume of a quantity of solution containing one mole of water and varying moles of ethanol, with respect to the number of moles of ethanol per mole of water, the quantity in Column 2. 

The partial molar volumes for water in the ethanol solutions can be calculated by analogous procedures. An interesting alternative method is the tangent method [2]. 

They are used as industrial solvents for small- and large-scale separation processes, and they have unusual thermodynamic properties, which depend in a complicated manner on composition, pressure, and temperature for example, the excess molar enthalpy (fp-) of ethanol + water mixture against concentration exhibits three extrema in its dependence on composition at 333.15 K and 0.4 MPa. The thermodynamic behavior of these systems is particularly intricate in the water-rich region, as illustrated by the dependencies of the molar heat capacity and partial molar volume on composition. This sensitivity of the partial molar properties indicates that structural changes occur in the water-rich region of these mixtures. Of course, the unique structural properties of water are responsible for this behavior. ...

A partial molar property of a component in a mixture may be either greater than or less than the corresponding pure-component molar property. Furthermore, the partial molar property may vary with composidon in a complicated way. Show this to be the case by computing (a) the partial molar volumes and (b) the partial molar enthalpies of ethanol and water in an ethanol-water mixture.

Figure 3.5 Molar volumes (solid lines) and partial molar volumes (broken lines) for binary liquid mixtures. Top is for benzene(l)-carbon tetrachloride(2) mixtures at 25°C, 1 atm. Bottom is for water(l)-ethanol(2) mixtures at 20°C, 1 atm. Note that if the partial molar volume of one component in a binary increases, then by the Gibbs-Duhem equation (3.4.13), the partial molar volume of the other component must decrease. Values computed from data in [4].

The last equality is valid because a binary has dxi = -dx2- The simple form of the Gibbs-Duhem equation (3.4.13) says that in a binary at fixed T and P, if Fx increases as Xi increases, then P2 must simultaneously decrease. This behavior can be seen in the partial molar volumes plotted in Figure 3.5 for example, in the water-ethanol mixtures, Vgfgf increases with X2 while simultaneously decreases.

Now we mix water and ethanol and let it sit on a bench. After a while, about an hour, the partial molar volumes of water and ethanol have changed and the total volume is no more 1,000.0 mL. To find out the total volume of water you will multiply the number of moles of water - unchanged in pure water and in mixture -by the molar volume of water in a 2 8 mixture with ethanol. This will give you the following relation ...
