The internal energy, E, of a system is a function of mass, volume, and temperature. The differential of E for a constant mass is a) dE = dV + dT b) dE = VdP – SdT c) dE = (E / V)T dV + (E / T)V dT d) dE = E (dV / dT) + E (T / V) 2. According to the Laws of Thermodynamics, differentials of the following are exact: a) work and enthalpy b) energy and work c) entropy and heat d) energy and entropy 3. An “exact differential,” df, as the term is ordinarily used in Thermodynamics, satisfies the condition a) df = 0 B b) df = fA - fB A c) M / x = N / y where df = (x,y) dx + N(x,y) dy d) that its line integral between two fixed points is dependent on the path. 4. When 0.5 mole of an ideal gas at 0 C is compressed isothermally from 1.00 atm to 2.00 atm a) G = 0 b) no heat is absorbed by the gas c) the work done on the gas is -787 joules d)E = 0 Pexternal 5.

If one mole of liquid water is reversibly vaporized at 100C and 1 atm, which of the following statements in incorrect? a) q = 40.6 kJ b) = 37.5 kJ c) G = 3.1 kJ d) S = 109 J K-1 Answers 1. C a. We know that E(m, V, T) from the problem. Remember back to taking derivatives of G, U, etc and the form it looked like when done. Note that mass is used instead of N as we used. 2. D a. Exact differentials are from state functions. Path functions depend on the process of the path and so are not exact. In the case of the answers, energy and entropy are both state functions. Enthalpy is as well, but it is paired with work which is not. 3. A a. B and C are close to what we want but are written with the wrong order. Since we just stated that state functions have exact differentials we should look something that signifies this. Answer A is saying that a closed path (the loop in the integral symbol) is zero. In other words the function is independent of path since the integral equals zero. For instance (using entropy as an example), taking liquid water and then freezing it, then vaporizing it and then condensing it back to a liquid would have a net 0 change in entropy (path independent) since it started and ended in the same place. 4. D a. Since the problem states that the process is isothermal we know ∆U=0. n is also constant. However the pressure is changing and the volume is also though not explicitly stated. We know that w PdV PV nRT nRT dV V Vf w nRT ln Vi 1 V f Vi 2 w 787 J Answer C is the opposite of what we want. Answer B would apply for an adiabatic process not isothermal. Answer D is best because U E w 5. D a. Work is defined by the area below the curve of a P vs. V graph. D is the correct process description for the work value. A is wrong because work is a path function. 6. A a. Remember that G(T,P,m) since G is something nice because we can measure it in the lab by measuring temperature and pressure. In this problem x must equal T because it is the only variable left out of the expression. You have P, and m accounted for already. 7. C a. We can find ∆Hrxn and ∆Grxn for standard temperature by using products minus reactants. Remember that H2(g) and Zn(s) have values of 0 for ∆Hrxn and ∆Grxn. For each set of ∆H and ∆G for each individual reactant or product we can find the standard entropy term ∆Srxn using T=298K. We can then find ∆Srxn. Now we can assume ∆Grxn=0 for the reaction in question because the problem states the equilibrium constant is in equilibrium. Use the ∆Hrxn and ∆Srxn and solve for the new T. *Note that we assumed H2(g) and Zn(s) had zero entropy for formation when in reality they have nonzero entropy. 8. B a. Cp is given and ∆H. Remember that H Cp T H Cp T H CpT Again find the new ∆H for 35C and then do products minus reactants. Notice and 1 to 1 stochiometric ratio. 9. A a. Simple enough. Positive something minus that same thing is zero. 10. C a. For a phase change ∆H=q so answer A is correct. For a reversible process, ∆s=q/T. Since H U PV H U PV H U nRT U 37.5kJ U E Note that n=1 because we are going from no moles of vapor to 1 mole of vapor. Answer C is the correct choice because it is incorrect for the problem. This makes since because we are at a phase change equilibrium so ∆G=0.
