CHEM 433 – 11/5/10 V. Phase Equilibria (Pure Substances) • Derivation of Phase Boundaries (4.6) • Eherenfest Classification of Phase Transitions (4.7): 1st order vs. 2nd order READ: FINISH CHAPTER 4
Thermodynamic Criterion of EQ: “At equilibrium, the chemical potential of a substance is the same throughout the sample, regardless of how many phases are present.”
A typical Clausius-Claperon problem: At sea level (Patm=760 Torr), H2O boils at 100°C. What is Tb in Boulder, CO (Patm= 620 Torr)? 106 °C b) 100°C c) 96°C d) 72 °C (Let’s look at the diagram and think first!)
Sample Exam #4 problem: Starting from the Claperon Equation: Show that the solid-vapour phase boundary is given by: Where subH and subV refer to sublimation.
