Ideal solution/system

The thermodynamics of mixing upon formation of the bilayered surface aggregates (admicelles) was studied as well as that associated with mixed micelle formation for the system. Ideal solution theory was obeyed upon formation of mixed micelles, but positive deviation from ideal solution theory was found at all mixture... 

In the following sections we will quantify some of the thermodynamic properties of mechanical mixtures and ideal and non-ideal solutions. As we detail the properties of ideal solutions, it will become clear that they are strictly hypothetical another thermodynamic concept, like true equilibrium , which is a limiting state for real systems. Ideal solutions, in other words, are another part of the thermodynamic model, not of reality. It is a useful concept, because real solutions can be compared to the hypothetical ideal solution and any differences described by using correction factors (activity coefficients) in the equations describing ideal behavior. These correction factors can either be estimated theoretically or determined by actually measuring the difference between the predicted (ideal) and actual behavior of real solutions.

Condensed phases of systems of category 1 may exhibit essentially ideal solution behavior, very nonideal behavior, or nearly complete immiscibility. An illustration of some of the complexities of behavior is given in Fig. IV-20, as described in the legend. 

If an ideal solution is formed, then the actual molecular A is just Aav (and Aex = 0). The same result obtains if the components are completely immiscible as illustrated in Fig. IV-21 for a mixture of arachidic acid and a merocyanine dye [116]. These systems are usually distinguished through the mosaic structure seen in microscopic evaluation. 

Osmotic pressure is one of four closely related properties of solutions that are collectively known as colligative properties. In all four, a difference in the behavior of the solution and the pure solvent is related to the thermodynamic activity of the solvent in the solution. In ideal solutions the activity equals the mole fraction, and the mole fractions of the solvent (subscript 1) and the solute (subscript 2) add up to unity in two-component systems. Therefore the colligative properties can easily be related to the mole fraction of the solute in an ideal solution. The following review of the other three colligative properties indicates the similarity which underlies the analysis of all the colligative properties ... 

When Eq. (4-282) is applied to XT E for which the vapor phase is an ideal gas and the liquid phase is an ideal solution, it reduces to a veiy simple expression. For ideal gases, fugacity coefficients and are unity, and the right-hand side of Eq. (4-283) reduces to the Poynting factor. For the systems of interest here this factor is always veiy close to unity, and for practical purposes <1 = 1. For ideal solutions, the activity coefficients are also unity. Equation (4-282) therefore reduces to...

In many process design applications like polymerization and plasticization, specific knowledge of the thermodynamics of polymer systems can be very useful. For example, non-ideal solution behavior strongly governs the diffusion phenomena observed for polymer melts and concentrated solutions. Hence, accurate modeling of... 

The material in this section is divided into three parts. The first subsection deals with the general characteristics of chemical substances. The second subsection is concerned with the chemistry of petroleum it contains a brief review of the nature, composition, and chemical constituents of crude oil and natural gases. The final subsection touches upon selected topics in physical chemistry, including ideal gas behavior, the phase rule and its applications, physical properties of pure substances, ideal solution behavior in binary and multicomponent systems, standard heats of reaction, and combustion of fuels. Examples are provided to illustrate fundamental ideas and principles. Nevertheless, the reader is urged to refer to the recommended bibliography [47-52] or other standard textbooks to obtain a clearer understanding of the subject material. Topics not covered here owing to limitations of space may be readily found in appropriate technical literature. 

All the above deals with gases and gas phase processes. We now turn to non-gaseous components of the system. There are many ways of expressing this. Probably the simplest is to consider an ideal solution of a solute in a solvent. If the solution is ideal, the vapour pressure of the solute is proportional to its concentration, and we may write p = kc, where c is the concentration and k is the proportionality constant. Similarly, = Arc , which expresses the fact that the standard pressure is related to a standard concentration. Thus we may write from equation 20.198 for a particular component... 

Deviations in which the observed vapor pressure are smaller than predicted for ideal solution behavior are also observed. Figure 6.8 gives the vapor pressure of. (CHjCF XiN +. viCHCfi at T — 283.15 K, an example of such behavior,10 This system is said to exhibit negative deviations from Raoult s law. 

Figure 8.23 (Solid + liquid) phase diagram for (. 1CCI4 +. yiCHjCN), an example of a system with large positive deviations from ideal solution behavior. The solid line represents the experimental results and the dashed line is the ideal solution prediction. Solid-phase transitions (represented by horizontal lines) are present in both CCI4 and CH3CN. The CH3CN transition occurs at a temperature lower than the eutectic temperature. It is shown as a dashed line that intersects the ideal CH3CN (solid + liquid) equilibrium line.

The reason is that classical thermodynamics tells us nothing about the atomic or molecular state of a system. We use thermodynamic results to infer molecular properties, but the evidence is circumstantial. For example, we can infer why a (hydrocarbon + alkanol) mixture shows large positive deviations from ideal solution behavior, in terms of the breaking of hydrogen bonds during mixing, but our description cannot be backed up by thermodynamic equations that involve molecular parameters. 

Solntions in which the concentration dependence of chemical potential obeys Eq. (3.6), as in the case of ideal gases, have been called ideal solutions. In nonideal solntions (or in other systems of variable composition) the concentration dependence of chemical potential is more complicated. In phases of variable composition, the valnes of the Gibbs energy are determined by the eqnation... 

It follows from these eqnations that in dilute ideal solutions, said effects depend only on the concentration, not on the nature of the solute. These relations hold highly accnrately in dilnte solntions of nonelectrolytes (up to about lO M). It is remarkable that Eq. (7.1) coincides, in both its form and the numerical value of constant R, with the eqnation of state for an ideal gas. It was because of this coincidence that the concept of ideality of a system was transferred from gases to solntions. As in an ideal gas, there are no chemical and other interactions between solnte particles in an ideal solution. 

At the outset it will be profitable to deal with an ideal solution possessing the following properties (i) there is no heat effect when the components are mixed (ii) there is no change in volume when the solution is formed from its components (iii) the vapoim pressiure of each component is equal to the vapour pressure of the pime substances multiplied by its mol fraction in the solution. The last-named property is merely an expression of Raoult s law, viz., the vapour pressiure of a substance is proportional to the number of mols of the substance present in unit volume of the solution, applied to liquid-liquid systems. Thus we may write ... 

Here G is the Gibbs free energy of the system without external electrostatic potential, and qis refers to the energy contribution coming from the interaction of an apphed constant electrostatic potential s (which will be specified later) with the charge qt of the species. The first term on the right-hand side of (5.1) is the usual chemical potential /r,(T, Ci), which, for an ideal solution, is given by... 

The summation is taken over all species (including inerts) present in the system. For gaseous mixtures that follow ideal solution behavior the partial molal quantities may be replaced by the pure component values. 

The dissolution of a solute into a solvent perturbs the colligative properties of the solvent, affecting the freezing point, boiling point, vapor pressure, and osmotic pressure. The dissolution of solutes into a volatile solvent system will affect the vapor pressure of that solvent, and an ideal solution is one for which the degree of vapor pressure change is proportional to the concentration of solute. It was established by Raoult in 1888 that the effect on vapor pressure would be proportional to the mole fraction of solute, and independent of temperature. This behavior is illustrated in Fig. 10A, where individual vapor pressure curves are...
