Document Summary

Gives us a tool to predict if given solute is added to system with two phases (oil: water) and water:air will accumulate at interface or move away. So, we talk about positive or negative adsorption. Then, we started talking about adsorption at solid interfaces. Then, we talked about gas-solid interfaces, and we mentioned that there are two types of adsorption that can take place at gas-solid interfaces: physical adsoprtion. Weak van der waals interaction between absorbed gas and solid: chemical adsoprtion. Formation of covalent bonds between gas and solid. When, we deal with physical adsorption, we want to understand how much gas will be adsorbed on the surface of the solid. In this respect, we need to know only two parameters, to calculate the amount of adsorbed gas at any partial pressure: The max. amount that can be adsorbed before we have saturation.

10. In this question, mean field theory will be used to derive the van der Waals equation. Consider a gas of interacting, indistinguishable particles. In principle, the potential energy from these interactions depends upon the positions of the particles so detailed structural information is needed to describe it. This is a difficult problem. However, we can take a much simpler, albeit approximate, approach by treating the interactions with a one-body energy term. The physical argument goes as follows. The interaction (potential) energies in principle will vary among microstates. However, we expect fluctuations to be small. Let's replace the exact potential U in the partition function with its average value (that is, the "mean field") eMF divided among the particles, and assume each particle has the same contribution regardless of its position. In other words, rather than considering the particles as interacting with each other (via a potential that depends upon particle positions) we treat them as interacting with the mean field (which is independent of particle positions and other particles). In this way, EMF becomes a one-body energy term that can be included in the usual non-interacting partition function as an additional energy contribution. That is, the interacting system is approximated by the non-interacting partition function with a one-body energy term approximating the particle interactions. With this mean-field approximation, the energy of our particles becomes E=E;deal + EMF , in which Eideal is the energy of a particle in an ideal gas. Since these energy contributions are independent, the particle partition function is q = qidealqMF . Normally, qideal would be the product of partition functions for translation, vibration, rota- tion, etc. but because the volume dependence will be important, let's write qidealc(T)V where c(T) includes all the constants and temperature dependencies arising from vibrations and rotations, and where the volume factor in the translational partition function has been explicitly accounted for. The remaining part of the translational partition function in included in c(T). In the present case though, we imagine the particles each occupy some volume b, so the "effective volume" of our system is V- Nb. In other words, take qideal cT)(V - Nb) We don't know the value of eMF but physical arguments suggest it must vary with the av- erage distance between particles, which in turn varies with density, N/V. So, let's suppose a linear dependence and write EMF =-aN/V with a some unknown constant. A minus sign is included here because it is anticipated EME will be negative (attractive interaction) so this will make a a positive number. This one energy is the same for each particle so 4 a) Derive the expression for the average pressure and show the system obeys the van der Waals equation of state. Note: as defined b is the volume per particle not per mole of particles as usually tabulated. Similarly, as defined a is per particle not per mole squared as usually tabulated. So, write Nb as nb, and aN2 as an2 if you want to use a and b as the usually tabulated molar values b) Show that the internal energy and heat capacity are given by an - - U ==ideal and Cv=CV,ideal, where Eideal and Cvideal are the internal energy and heat capacity for the ideal gas, respectively. Show that the first relation is consistent with (UaVTan2/V2, a relation derived from thermodynamics. Give a physical argument to explain why the van der Waals gas (an interacting system) could have the same Cv as the ideal gas (a non-interacting system)

Nitrogen and phosphorus are in the same column of the periodic table. They have similar properties in bonding with other molecules because they have the same number of:

We cannot answer this question definitively because there is not enough information.
