Fugacity and Activity Coefficients in Mixtures

This document contains instructions for 3 chemistry problems related to thermodynamics: 1. Compute the fugacity of liquid n-butane at 260 K and pressures of 1 bar and 200 bar. 2. Using reported composition data for a CHCl3-H2O mixture, predict the Margules parameters A and B. 3. Analyze a provided plot of activity coefficients vs. mole fraction for a binary liquid mixture to determine the reference state, verify Gibbs-Duhem at x=0.6, fit an excess Gibbs energy model, and assess if phase separation is possible.

ASSIGNMENT NO.

IV
CL207: CHEMICAL ENGINEERING THERMODYNAMICS II
Due Date:26th March 2017

1. Compute the fugacity of pure liquid n-butane at 260 K at the following pressures: (a) 1
bar; (b) 200 bar. You may assume the density of liquid butane, 0.579 g/cm3 is
independent of pressure.

2. At 25C and 1 bar, the following composition has been reported for a liquidliquid
mixture of CHCl3 (a) and H2O (b) : xa=0.987 and xa=0.0013. From these data predict
the three-sufx Margules parameters A and B, for the binary mixture.

3. Below is a plot of the natural log of the activity coefcients ln(i ) of a binary liquid
mixture of species a and b vs. mole fraction of species a (xa) at 300 K.

(a) What is the reference state for each species (Lewis-Randall or Henrys)?
(b) Show that the GibbsDuhem equation is satised at a mole fraction xa= 0.6.
(c) Come up with an appropriate model for gE for this system and nd the values of the
model parameters.
(d) Is it possible for species a and b to separate into two liquid phases? Explain.
