Why is using the Gibbs function advantageous when studying chemical and phase equilibrium?
For Eq. 14.6 to apply at equilibrium, must a system attain equilibrium at fixed T and p?
Show that (dA)T,V 0 is a valid equilibrium criterion, where A = U ̶ TS is the Helmholtz function.
A mixture of 1 kmol of CO and kmol of O2is held at ambient temperature and pressure. After 100 hours only an insignificant amount of CO2has formed. Why?
Why might oxygen contained in an iron tank be treated as inert in a thermodynamic analysis even though iron oxidizes in the presence of oxygen?
