When BaCl2-H2O (s) is dried in an oven, it loses gaseious water:
BaCl2-H2O <--> BaCl2(s) + H2O (g)
enthalpy change - 63.11 kJ/mol at 25 degrees C
entropy change - +148 J/(K-mol) at 25 degrees C
Calculate the vapor pressure of gaseous H2O above BaCl2-H2O at 298K.
Ah, the vapor pressure of gaseous H2O above BaCl2-H2O at 298K. Well, let's put on our chemistry hats and get cracking!
To calculate the vapor pressure, we can use the good ol' Gibbs free energy equation:
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
Where ΔG is the change in Gibbs free energy, ΔH is the enthalpy change, T is the temperature in kelvin, and ΔS is the entropy change.
Now, we're given that the enthalpy change (ΔH) is -63.11 kJ/mol (negative because it's an exothermic reaction) and the entropy change (ΔS) is +148 J/(K-mol). However, we need to convert the units of ΔH to J/mol, so it becomes -63110 J/mol.
But before we continue, let's convert the temperature to kelvin. We have 298K, so no conversion needed there.
Now, plug in the values into our equation:
ΔG = (-63110 J/mol) - (298K)(148 J/(K-mol))
Now, let's do the math:
ΔG ≈ -63110 J/mol - 44104 J/mol
≈ -107,214 J/mol
Now, we can use the equation ΔG = -RTlnP to solve for the vapor pressure (P). R is the gas constant, which is 8.314 J/(mol·K), and T is the temperature in kelvin (298K).
-107214 J/mol = -(8.314 J/(mol·K))(298K)lnP
Now, solving for P:
lnP = -107214 J/mol / (8.314 J/(mol·K) * 298K)
lnP ≈ -40.63
Using the magic of e, we can now find P:
P ≈ e^(-40.63)
≈ 5.6 x 10^(-18)
And there you have it! The vapor pressure of gaseous H2O above BaCl2-H2O at 298K is approximately 5.6 x 10^(-18) (I hope that it's as low as my chances of becoming a stand-up comedian!).
To calculate the vapor pressure of gaseous H2O above BaCl2-H2O at 298K, we can use the Clausius-Clapeyron equation. The equation is as follows:
ln(P2/P1) = (ΔHvap/R) * ((1/T1) - (1/T2))
Where:
P1 = vapor pressure at temperature T1 (known)
P2 = vapor pressure at temperature T2 (unknown)
ΔHvap = enthalpy of vaporization (known)
R = ideal gas constant (8.314 J/(K*mol))
T1 = initial temperature (known)
T2 = final temperature (known)
In this case, we are given ΔHvap as -63.11 kJ/mol, T1 as 298 K, and the entropy change is given as +148 J/(K-mol). The entropy change can be used to calculate the entropy of vaporization (ΔSvap) using the equation:
ΔSvap = ΔHvap/T
Let's calculate step by step:
1. Convert the enthalpy change to J/mol:
ΔHvap = -63.11 kJ/mol * 1000 J/1 kJ = -63,110 J/mol
2. Calculate the entropy of vaporization (ΔSvap):
ΔSvap = ΔHvap / T1 = -63,110 J/mol / 298 K = -211.745 J/(K*mol)
3. Calculate ln(P2/P1):
ln(P2/P1) = (ΔHvap/R) * ((1/T1) - (1/T2))
= (-63,110 J/mol / 8.314 J/(K*mol)) * ((1/298 K) - (1/298 K))
= -7587.70875 * 0
= 0
Since ln(P2/P1) equals 0, it implies that P2/P1 = e^0 = 1.
4. Solve for P2:
P2/P1 = 1
P2 = P1
Therefore, the vapor pressure of gaseous H2O above BaCl2-H2O at 298K is equal to the vapor pressure at the initial temperature (P1).
To calculate the vapor pressure of gaseous H2O above BaCl2-H2O at 298K, we can use the equilibrium constant (K) for the reaction:
BaCl2-H2O <--> BaCl2(s) + H2O (g)
The equilibrium constant (K) is related to the vapor pressure of water by the equation: K = P(H2O) / P°(H2O)
Where:
P(H2O) is the vapor pressure of water above BaCl2-H2O
P°(H2O) is the standard vapor pressure of water at that temperature, which is known.
To calculate K, we can use the equation:
ΔG° = -RT ln(K)
Where:
ΔG° is the standard Gibbs free energy change for the reaction, which can be calculated using the enthalpy change (ΔH°) and entropy change (ΔS°) as follows:
ΔG° = ΔH° - TΔS°
R is the gas constant (8.314 J/(mol∙K))
T is the temperature in Kelvin (298K)
First, we need to convert the enthalpy change from kJ/mol to J/mol:
ΔH° = 63.11 kJ/mol * 1000 J/kJ = -63,110 J/mol
Now, we can calculate ΔG°:
ΔG° = -63,110 J/mol - (298K)(148 J/(K∙mol))
ΔG° = -63,110 J/mol - 44,104 J/mol
ΔG° = -107,214 J/mol
Now, we can rearrange the equation for ΔG° to solve for K:
K = e^(-ΔG° / RT)
Plugging in the known values:
K = e^(-(-107,214 J/mol) / ((8.314 J/(mol·K))(298K)))
Calculating the value using a calculator, we find:
K ≈ 2.25 x 10^12
Now, we can use the K value to calculate the vapor pressure of H2O above BaCl2-H2O:
P(H2O) = K * P°(H2O)
Assuming the standard vapor pressure of water at 298K (P°(H2O)) is 1 atm, we have:
P(H2O) = (2.25 x 10^12) * (1 atm)
Calculating this value, we find:
P(H2O) ≈ 2.25 x 10^12 atm
Therefore, the vapor pressure of gaseous H2O above BaCl2-H2O at 298K is approximately 2.25 x 10^12 atm.
