Question

Determine the parameters a, b, and c given the data on table 11.3. Please do not use the solutions manual.

11.36. The data in Table 11.3 are experimental values of HE for binary liquid mixtures of 1,2-dichloroethane (1) and dimethyl carbonate(2) at 313.15 K (40 C) and l atm. (a) Determine from the data numerical values of parameters a, b, and c in the correlating equation: x1x2(a bx1 cxi) (b) Determine from the results of part (a) the minimum value of HE. At what value of x1 does this occur? (c) Determine from the results of part (a) expressions for H1 and H2. Prepare a plot of these quantities vs. x1, and discuss its features.

Explanation / Answer

The equation can be written as HE/x1x2= a+bx1+cx2

The plot of HE/x1x2 along vs x1 is plotted and shown below

accordingly    a+bx1+cx12= 1036x12-1118.3x1-523.6

comparing the coefficients,

a= -523.6, b=-1118.3 and c= 1036

HE= x1x2( 1036x12- 1118.3x1-523.6)= x1*(1-x1){ 1036x12- 1118.3x1- 523.6)= (x1-x12) (1036x12-1118.3x1-523.6)

= -1036x14 +2154.3x13-594.7x12- 523.6x1

dHE/dx1= 0 gives the values of x , -4144x13 +6462x12-1189.4x1- 523.6 =0

dHE/dx1= 4144x13 +6462.9x12- 1189.4x1-523.6 =0

when solved using excel, x1=0.536

d2HE/dx12>0 at x1=0.536

hence x1 is minimum

H1-E= HE+x2(dHE/dx1)=-1036x14+2154.3x13-594.7x12-523.6x1 +(1-x1)*(4144x13 +6462.9x12- 1189.4x1-523.6)

=-3108x14 -164.6x13-5868.2x12- 1189.4x1- 523.6

H2-e= HE- x1*dHE/dx1= 1036x14+2154.3x13-594.7x12-523.6x1- x1*(4144x13 +6462.9x12- 1189.4x1-523.6 )

=-5180x14-4308.6x13=594.7x12
