Transformed heat capacities

The standard transformed heat capacity at constant pressure of a reactant is discussed later in Chapter 10 on calorimetry. The calculation of A H ° using equation 4.5-3 looks simple, but note that the standard transformed Gibbs energies of formation of all of the species are involved in the calculation. These equations were applied to the ATP series by Alberty and Goldberg (1992).

It is necessary to specify zero ionic strength here because Debye-HUckel adjustments for ionic strength depend on the temperature. Heat capacities and transformed heat capacities are discussed in an Appendix to this chapter. However, since there is not very much information in the literature on heat capacities of species or transformed heat capacities of reactants, the treatments described here are based on the assumption that heat capacities of species are equal to zero. When molar heat capacities of species can be taken as zero, both standard enthalpies of formation and standard entropies of formation of species are independent of temperature. When Af H° and Af 5° are independent of temperature, standard Gibbs energies of formation of species at zero ionic strength can be calculated using... 

These calculations can be checked in additional ways by use of Af Gj ° = Af Hj ° - TAf Sj ° and dAf Gj °/dpH = dAf Hj 7d pH - TdAf Sj °/dpH. More partial derivatives can be taken, but taking a second derivative with respect to the same variable is not likely to be very accurate. An example of a second derivative is the standard transformed heat capacity since Af Cp ° = -Td Af G/ Another example is the binding capacity, defined by di Cera, Gill, and Wyman (4). 

There is some literature data on heat capacities and transformed heat capacities, but not enough to justify including them in the general treatments here, but they are of interest and may not be negligible. The adjustment of the heat capacity of a species for the ionic strength depends on both the first and second derivatives of the coefficient alpha in the Debye-Huckel equation. 

Thus the transformed heat capacity of a species can be positive or negative. The transformed heat capacity of a reactant involving two or more species is not simply a weighted average, but is given by the following equation. 

Melting and boiling points of substances at high temperatures ate quoted among others from Brewer, and from a book by Kuba-schewski and Evans, the latter providing many useful tables on heat of formation and heat of transformation, heat capacities, and information on calorimetry. 

Rand and Kubaschewski have provided a critical assessment of all the available thermochemical data for binary compounds of uranium and a consistent set of values, including in some instances estimates, for enthalpies of formation and standard entropies, enthalpies of transformation, heat capacities, vapour pressures, and free energies of formation.

In the broadest sense, thermodynamics is concerned with mathematical relationships that describe equiUbrium conditions as well as transformations of energy from one form to another. Many chemical properties and parameters of engineering significance have origins in the mathematical expressions of the first and second laws and accompanying definitions. Particularly important are those fundamental equations which connect thermodynamic state functions to real-world, measurable properties such as pressure, volume, temperature, and heat capacity (1 3) (see also Thermodynamic properties). 

The integral terms representing AH and AH can be computed if molal heat capacity data Cp(T) are available for each of the reactants (i) and products (j). When phase transitions occur between T and Tj for any of the species, proper accounting must be made by including the appropriate latent heats of phase transformations for those species in the evaluation of AHj, and AH terms. In the absence of phase changes, let Cp(T) = a + bT + cT describe the variation of (cal/g-mole °K) with absolute temperature T (°K). Assuming that constants a, b, and c are known for each species involved in the reaction, we can write... 

There are two heat factors involved in cUiy phase change. They are "heat capacity", i.e.- Cp or Cy, and "heat of transformation", usually denoted as H. 

Reiterating, heat of transformation, or H, is involved in change of form of the material while heat capacity relates to its internal change in temperature as it approaches another point of change. Both of these constants are based upon the standard of energy, or heat, of one (1.00) calorie. Heat capacity is also known as thermal capacity. 

The last term in the above equation, AH, refers to the enthalpies of transformation that the reactants and/or products may undergo in the temperature interval 298 to T. Enthalpies of transformations are added (the sign is + ) if products transform and subtracted (the sign is if reactants transform. Molar heat capacities of reactants and products do vary... 

What factor can be used to transform molar heat capacity into specific heat Ans. The reciprocal of atomic weight (or formula weight). For example. 

The mathematical treatment can be further simplified in one particular case, that corresponding to Figure 4.10(a). As we saw in the previous section, in some binary systems the two terminal solid solution phases have very different physical properties and the solid solubility may be neglected for simplicity. If we assume no solid solubility (i.e. as =a =1) and in addition neglect the effect of the heat capacity difference between the solid and liquid components, eqs. (4.29) and (4.30) can be transformed to two equations describing the two liquidus branches ... 

Equation 12.19 requires the determination of the heat capacity of the initial and final states of the transformation as a function of the temperature. The general method used in the determination of Cp or Cy by DSC will be outlined next. Now, we note that according to equations 12.10-12.15, between t and fc ... 

A large drawback of batch reactors is that a great deal of time is spent not performing chemical transformations a batch process is inherently inefficient in terms of plant usage. Also, as the reaction proceeds and more product is formed, the composition of the batch changes, altering the physical properties of the reaction including viscosity, heat capacity and gas solubilities, all of which...
