Thermodynamic Quantities for the

Systems involving an interface are often metastable, that is, essentially in equilibrium in some aspects although in principle evolving slowly to a final state of global equilibrium. The solid-vapor interface is a good example of this. We can have adsorption equilibrium and calculate various thermodynamic quantities for the adsorption process yet the particles of a solid are unstable toward a drift to the final equilibrium condition of a single, perfect crystal. Much of Chapters IX and XVII are thus thermodynamic in content.

In order to utilise our colloids as near hard spheres in terms of the thermodynamics we need to account for the presence of the medium and the species it contains. If the ions and molecules intervening between a pair of colloidal particles are small relative to the colloidal species we can treat the medium as a continuum. The role of the molecules and ions can be allowed for by the use of pair potentials between particles. These can be determined so as to include the role of the solution species as an energy of interaction with distance. The limit of the medium forms the boundary of the system and so determines its volume. We can consider the thermodynamic properties of the colloidal system as those in excess of the solvent. The pressure exerted by the colloidal species is now that in excess of the solvent, and is the osmotic pressure II of the colloid. These ideas form the basis of pseudo one-component thermodynamics. This allows us to calculate an elastic rheological property. Let us consider some important thermodynamic quantities for the system. We may apply the first law of thermodynamics to the system. The work done in an osmotic pressure and volume experiment on the colloidal system is related to the excess heat adsorbed d Q and the internal energy change d E ... 

The uncertainty in the measurement of elution time / or elution volume of an unretained tracer is another potential source of error in the evaluation of thermodynamic quantities for the chromatographic process. It can be shown that a small relative error in the determination of r , will give rise to a commensurate relative error in both the retention factor and the related Gibbs free energy. Thus, a 5% error in leads to errors of nearly 5% in both k and AG. An analysis of error propagation showed that if the... 

Cassel and Neugebauer (18) investigated the adsorption of some of the rare gases on mercury over a range of temperatures by surface tension measurements. They found that the curves for surface pressure against gas pressure were almost linear and it is possible to interpolate their results to the standard state ir = 0.0608 dynes/cm., obtaining the pressure p0 in equilibrium with a film at this surface pressure. The thermodynamic quantities for the adsorption of xenon are given in Table IV ...

The essential thermodynamic quantity for the liquid trihalides is the heat capacity, which in combination with the data for the solid phase gives the enthalpy/entropy of fusion. With these two quantities the Gibbs energy of the liquid phase can be calculated and extrapolated to the super-cooled state, if needed. 

This principle serves as the basis for a number of models of fused salt systems. Perhaps the best known of these is the Temkin model, which uses the properties of an ordered lattice to predict thermodynamic quantities for the liquid state [79]. However, certain other models that have been less successful in making quantitative predictions for fused salts may be of interest for their conceptual value in understanding room temperature ionic liquids. The interested reader can find a discussion of the early application of these models in a review by Bloom and Bockris [71], though we caution that with the exception of hole theory (discussed in Section II.C) these models are not currently in widespread use. The development of a general theoretical model accurately describing the full range of phenomena associated with molten salts remains a challenge for the field.

Calculations of total thermodynamic quantities for the formation of various defects have been presented (7). The calculations are based on the assumed reactions and on constant (not unit) species activity coefficients. 

The partial molar volume, which is a very important quantity to probe the response of the free energy (or stability) of protein to pressure, including the so-called pressure denaturation, is not a canonical thermodynamic quantity for the (V, T) ensemble, since volume is an independent thermodynamic variable of the ensemble. The partial molar volume of protein at infinite dilution can be calculated from the Kirkwood-Buff equation [20] generalized to the site-site representation of liquid and solutions [21,22],... 

The aim of this chapter is simply to introduce a selection of the most appropriate thermodynamic quantities for the processing and interpretation of adsorption isotherm and calorimetric data, which are obtained by the methods described in Chapter 3. We do not consider here the thermodynamic implications of capillary condensation, since these are dealt with in Chapter 7. Special attention is given to the terminology and the definition of certain key thermodynamic quantities, for example, the difference between corresponding molar integral quantities and differential quantities.

Results of study of the decomposition of nickel sulphate heptahydrate through nickel sulphate hexahydrate and nickel sulphate tetrahydrate at 0.015 bar (II torr) are presented. X-ray diffraction patterns are presented for some of the different solids. Detailed measurement results were not tabulated, but the graphical presentation and the reported thermodynamic quantities for the dehydration reactions are in reasonable agreement with results reported in the later study of Kohler and Zaske [64KOH/ZAS].
