Ideal gas law equation
Show answerPV = nRT
Compressibility factor Z definition
Show answerZ = PV/(nRT); ratio of real gas volume to ideal gas volume at same T and P
Van der Waals equation of state
Show answer[P + a(n/V)^2][V/n - b] = RT
What do the constants a and b represent in the Van der Waals equation?
Show answera accounts for intermolecular attractive forces; b accounts for molecular volume
Virial equation of state expresses compressibility as what?
Show answerPower series in density or pressure: Z = 1 + B*P + C*P^2 + ...
Redlich-Kwong equation of state
Show answerP = RT/(V-b) - a/(T^0.5 * V(V+b))
Principle of corresponding states relates compressibility factor Z to what?
Show answerReduced temperature Tr and reduced pressure Pr; Z = f(Tr, Pr) for different substances
Critical point properties Pc, Tc, Vc are used to define what?
Show answerReduced properties: Pr = P/Pc, Tr = T/Tc, Vr = V/Vc
Define fugacity
Show answerEffective pressure that accounts for non-ideal behavior of a real gas
Fugacity coefficient phi relates fugacity to pressure how?
Show answerf = phi * P, where phi is fugacity coefficient
For an ideal gas, what is the fugacity coefficient phi?
Show answerphi = 1; fugacity equals pressure
Standard state for fugacity in a solution is defined as what?
Show answerPure component at system temperature and pressure
Define vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE)
Show answerState where liquid and vapor phases coexist in equilibrium with no net mass transfer
Raoult's law for an ideal solution
Show answerP_i = P_sat,i * x_i; partial pressure equals vapor pressure times liquid mole fraction
Total pressure from Raoult's law for a binary system
Show answerP = P_sat,1 * x_1 + P_sat,2 * x_2
