Introduction
Measures of composition are essential variables (along with temperature and pressure already
discussed in Lesson 1) because multicomponent fluid mixtures processed in chemical industries
undergo composition changes due to mixing and separation processes, the transfer of species
from one phase to another, and chemical reaction.
The composition of mixtures can be measured in three common ways;
▪ Mole fraction: the ratio of the number of moles of a particular
chemical species, 𝑛𝑖 , in a mixture to the total number of moles of
mixture, 𝑛. Used for both reacting and nonreacting systems. For flow
or open
▪ Mass fraction: the ratio of the mass of a particular chemical species,
𝑚𝑖 , in a mixture to the total mass of mixture, 𝑚. Not suitable for processes
reacting systems but can be used for nonreacting systems.
▪ Molar concentration: the ratio of the mole fraction of a particular
chemical species, 𝑥𝑖 , in a mixture or solution to the molar volume of
the mixture or solution, 𝑉.
The molar mass of a mixture or solution is the mole-fraction-weighted
sum of the molar masses of all species present:
mሶ i and nሶ i are mass and molar flow rate of species i, respectively and q is volumetric flow rate

Partial properties
▪ Chemical species in solution do not have their individual properties, rather an arbitrary
solution properties are assigned to the individual species.
▪ Notations for the three kinds of molar (or unit-mass) thermodynamic properties of mixtures:
▪ For a homogenous PVT system with a total system property 𝑛𝑀 (denoted 𝑀𝑡 ) such that

▪ Subscript 𝑛𝑗 indicates that all mole numbers are held constant except that of the 𝑖𝑡ℎ species.

Equating each bracket term in Eq. (2.3) to zero because 𝑛 and d𝑛 are independent and arbitrary gives

and (2.5) or
This Summability Equation (Eq. 2.5) relates the solution molar property to the partial molar property.

The Gibbs energy expressed as a function of its canonical variables (natural or special pair of
independent variables), serves as a generating function, providing the means for the
calculation of all other thermodynamic properties (using their definitions) by simple
mathematical operations and it implicitly represents complete property information.

Exercise 2.1
Write the Gibbs-Duhem Equation for the Gibb’s energy of a binary solution.
Solution
Given that a binary system is made up of two component 1 and 2 and that
𝑛𝐺 = 𝑔(𝑇, 𝑃, 𝑥1 , 𝑥2 )
The Gibbs-Duhem equation is given as

𝑑𝑃 + 𝑑𝑇 − (𝑥1 𝑑𝐺1ҧ ) 𝑇,𝑃,𝑥2 + (𝑥2 𝑑𝐺ҧ2 ) 𝑇,𝑃,𝑥1 = 0

▪ Also recall the special case of the Gibbs-Duhem equation (simplified form) where T and P
are constant;
▪ Note that Eq. (2.8) can also be written in two other forms as (in terms of either 𝑥1 or 𝑥2 ):
and
▪ Combining these with Eq. (2.11) gives:

Example 1
The need arises in a laboratory for 2000 cm3 of an antifreeze solution consisting of
30 mol-% methanol in water. What volumes of pure methanol and of pure water at
25°C must be mixed to form the 2000 cm3 of antifreeze, also at 25°C? Partial
molar volumes for methanol and water in a 30 mol-% methanol solution and their
pure-species molar volumes, both at 25°C, are:
Methanol (1) :
𝑉ത1= 38.632 𝑐𝑚3 ⋅ 𝑚𝑜𝑙 −1
𝑉1 = 40.727 𝑐𝑚3 ⋅ 𝑚𝑜𝑙 −1
Water (2) :
𝑉ത2 = 17.765 𝑐𝑚3 ⋅ 𝑚𝑜𝑙 −1
𝑉2 = 18.068 𝑐𝑚3 ⋅ 𝑚𝑜𝑙 −1

Example 2
The enthalpy of a binary liquid system of species 1 and 2 at fixed T and P is
represented by the equation:
𝐻 = 400𝑥1 + 600𝑥2 + 𝑥1 𝑥2 ( 40𝑥1 + 20𝑥2 )
where H is in J.𝑚𝑜𝑙 −1 . Determine expressions for 𝐻 ഥ1 and 𝐻
ഥ2 as functions of 𝑥1 ,
numerical values for the pure-species enthalpies 𝐻1 and 𝐻2 , and numerical values
ഥ1∞ and 𝐻
for the partial enthalpies at infinite dilution 𝐻 ഥ2∞ .

This result means that for the ideal-gas state at given T and P the partial molar volume,
the pure-species molar volume, and the mixture molar volume are identical.
