Q154 · CSIR-NET Chemistry, December 2019

Paper: CSIR-NET December 2019 · Subject: Physical Chemistry · Chapter: Thermodynamics · Topic: Partial Molar Quantities · Marks: 2 · Difficulty: Medium

Molar composition of a mixture of P and Q at equilibrium is $3: 1(\mathrm{P}: \mathrm{Q})$. A small disturbance in composition results in change of chemical potential of P by $10 \mathrm{J} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}$. The chemical potential of Q will change (in $\mathrm{J} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}$) by (1) 30 (2) 3.3 (3) -30 (4) -3.3 Options
(a)1
(b)2
(c)3
(d)4
Answer
Answer: C ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high
Explanation
Gibbs–Duhem: 3 dμ_P + 1 dμ_Q = 0 ⇒ dμ_Q = −30 J mol⁻¹, statement (3).
