Single-component systems Clausius-Clapeyron equation

In the previous chapter we obtained a number of relations, such as the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, which are correct whatever the natme of the phases which are in equilibrium, provided that there is only a single component. The question arises whether any equations of a comparable generality may be obtained for the case of a multi-component system. [Pg.215]

Single-component systems are useful for illustrating some of the concepts of equilibrium. Using the concept that the chemical potential of two phases of the same component must be the same if they are to be in equilibrium in the same system, we were able to use thermodynamics to determine first the Clapeyron and then the Clausius-Clapeyron equation. Plots of the pressure and temperature conditions for phase equilibria are the most common form of phase diagram. We use the Gibbs phase rule to determine how many conditions we need to know in order to specify the exact state of our system. [Pg.177]

In Chapter 6, we introduced some important concepts that we can apply to systems at equilibrium. The Clapeyron equation, the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, and the Gibbs phase rule are tools that are used to understand the establishment and changes of systems at equilibrium. However, so far we have considered only systems that have a single chemical component. This is very limiting, because most chemical systems of interest have more than one chemical component. They are multiple-component systems. [Pg.183]

For this single-component system with one condensed phase and one ideal gas phase, and according to the Clausius-Clapeyron equation (5.24), we obtain... [Pg.183]
