Calculate the change in molar Gibbs Free Energy for liquid water when pressure is increased from 50 kPa to 900 kPa at a constant 373 K, where the density of water is 0.997 g/cm3. Now calculate the change in molar Gibbs Free Energy for water vapor (ideal) when pressure is increased from 50 kPa to 900 kPa at a constant 373 K. Suggest a physical reason that would explain the large differences in your answers.

    Given;

    Initial pressure = 50 kPa = P1 final pressure = 900 kPa = P2 density of water is 0.997 g/cm3 = 997kg/m3 Gibb's free energy is given as; Δ G = VdP ΔG = V (P2 - P1) = 0.01 (900 - 50) x 1000

    = 8500KJ/mol

    Mass of water = volume x density

    = 0.01 x 0.997 = 9970g

    moles of water = mass / molar mass

    = 9970g / 18g/mol

    = 553.88moles

    hence molar gibbs = Δ G / n

    = 8500/553.88 = 15.35J/mol
