Assignment

1. Assuming Ag-Au is a random mixture of gold and silver atoms .Calculate the entropy
increase when 10 gm of gold are mixed with 20 gms of silver to form an ideal
homogenous alloy. The atomic weight of Au and Ag are 197 and 107.88gm,
respectively.

2. A mixture of Fe2O3 and Al, present in the molar ratio 1:2 is adiabatically contained
alongwith some Fe at 25C. If the Thermit reaction ( Fe2O3+ 2 Al

Al2O3+2Fe) is

allowed to proceed to completion, calculate molar ratios of Fe to Fe2O3 in the initial

mixture which, on completion of reaction, will give liquid Fe and solid Al2O3 at
1600C.
H 298 (Fe 2 O 3 ) = 4.2 x196300J / mol

H 298 (Al 2 O 3 ) = 4.2 x 400000J / mol

Cp (Al 2 O 3 ) = 4.2(25.48 + 4.25x10 3 T 6.82x10 5 T 2 )J / mol K in 298 T 1879

3. One mole of Au is take from state 1 (P= 1 atm ,T= 293K) to state 2 ((P= 1 atm ,T=
273K). What pressure must be applied to the gold at 273K in order to raise its
enthalpy back to that of state 1? Call this new state as state 3. Calculate the entropy
difference between states 1 and 3. Au at 20C =19. 3g/cc; = 4.32 X10-5 K-1 , which
is independent of pressure and M Au =197 gm/mol.
