Chapter 4 Rates and equilibria
The thermodynamic and extrathermodynamic approaches
Chapter objectives
Upon completion of this chapter, the successful student must be able to
• Perform chemical equilibria calculations for ideal and nonideal fluids in gas phase.
• Perform chemical equilibria calculations for ideal and nonideal fluids in liquid phase.
• Perform equilibrium calculations for systems involving adsorption–desorption equilibria.
• Apply extrathermodynamic approach to determining the equilibrium properties.
Introduction
In this chapter, we summarize the fundamental thermodynamic relationships relevant to chemical equilibria. Particular attention will be given to the thermodynamics of adsorption and the derivation of ...
