Question

Quartz phase transition I) A quartz crystal has a volume of 7.5 ml at 298 K and 0.1 MPa. What is the volume of the crystal at 840K and 12.3 MPa if: a) ?= 1.4654 × 10-5 (K-1) and ?T= 2.276 × 10-11 (Pa-1) and ? and ?T are independent of T and P; b) ? = 1.4310 × 10-5 (K-1) + 1.1587 × 10-9 (K-2) × T and ?T = 1.8553 × 10-11(Pa-1) + 7.9453 × 10-8/P. II) calculate the total enthalpy upon heating of 100 g of quartz from 25° C to 900° C. Quartz undergoes a phase transition from ?-quartz to ?-quartz at 575° C. The enthalpy of this phase transition is ?Htr =0.411 kJ/mol. Use the Maier-Kelly heat capacity data in the table.

Explanation / Answer

dT=T2-T1=840-298=542 K

dP=P2-P1=12.3-0.1=12.2atm

delta V=V2-V1

V2=??

V1=7.5mL

delta S=41.34-41.84=0.5

delta Cp=0.03431-0.00812=0.002619

dT/dP=delta alpha*V*T/delta Cp

542/12.2=1.4654*10^-5*(V2-7.5)*(542)/0.002619

44.42=794.2*10^-5(V2-7.5)*/0.002619

44.42*0.002619/794.2*10^-5=V2-7.5

0.116/794.2*10-5=V2-7.5

1.4*10=V2-7.5

14+7.5=V2

21.5=V2

b.dT/dP= delta alpha*V*T/delta Cp

dT=542 K

dP=12.2

delta alpha=1.4310*10-5(K-1)+1.1587*10^-9(K-2)*(K)*

delta CP=0.002619J/K-mol

542/12,2=1.4310*10-5(K-1)+1.1587*10^-9* 542/0.002619

44.42=1.4310*10-5+1.1587*10-9*542(V2-7.50)*542/0.002619

44.42*0.002619=1.4310*10-5+1.1587*10-9*542(V2-7.5)*542

0.116/542*542(1.4310*10-5+1.1587*10-9)=V2-7.5

0.116/293764=10-5(1.4310+1.1587*10-4)

3.9*10-7=10-5(1.4310+0.0001587)

3.9*10-7=10-5*1.43

3.9*10-7/1.43*10-5

2.7*10-2=V2-7.52

2.7*10-2+7.52

=0.027+7.52=V2

7.547=V2
