EXAM – 02 (CHEM 3301) Spring 2011
Marking Scheme
Using the first and second laws, or any other way you choose. For FULL Credit
YOU MUST JUSTIFY each step
a) (5 pts) Show that the fundamental equation for dU is given by
dU = TdS - PdV
dU = δq + δw (first law)
dU = δq – P ext
dV (definition of work)
If the process is assumed to be reversible, P ext
gas
=P and dq rev
= TdS (from
second law of thermodynamics)
dU=TdS-PdV
b) (5 pts) Treat U as a function of V and S. Write out its total derivative, dU, in
terms of dV, dS and partial derivatives of H.
dU = (∂U/∂V) S
dV + (∂U/∂S) V
dS
c) (5pts) Show that P

and that T
V
From a) dU = – PdV + TdS
From b) dU = (∂U/∂V) S
dV + (∂U/∂S) V
dS
As both equations for dU are equal, then the coefficients for dS and dV
must be equal.
S
and T = (∂U/∂S) V
OR From a)From a) dU =dU = – – PdV + TPdV + T dSdS
(dU/dS)= (dU/dS)= - - P(dV/dS) + TP(dV/dS) + T
When the volume is constant dV=0 When the volume is constant dV=0 T = (T = (∂∂U/U/∂∂S)S) VV
From a)
From a)
dU =
dU =

also apply real
gases/liquids. Why? Discuss this from a molecular perspective while mentioning
differences and similarities of ideal gases and real gases/liquids.

In ideal gases, the interactions between species are neglected. The enthalpy of mixing is
zero. The mixing is driven by the entropy alone. Mixing is always spontaneous for ideal
systems.
Then G mix
mix
for ideal gases
In real gases/liquids we do have interactions. The enthalpy of mixing is NOT zero.
If ΔH mix
<0, then mixing will ALWAYS occur.
If ΔH mix
0, then mixing may not always occur.
In fact, if ΔH mix

, then ΔG mix
- The gases/liquids will NOT mix. They are
immiscible.
