Consider a fuel cell that uses methane ("natural gas") as fuel. The reaction is
(a) Use the data at the back of this book to determine the values of
(b) Assuming ideal performance, how much electrical work can you get out of the cell, for each mole of methane fuel?
(c) How much waste heat is produced, for each mole of methane fuel?
(d) The steps of this reaction are
What is the voltage of the cell?
The methods of this section can also be applied to reactions in which one set of solids converts to another. A geologically important example is the transformation of albite into jadeite + quartz:
Use the data at the back of this book to determine the temperatures and pressures
under which a combination of jadeite and quartz is more stable than albite. Sketch
the phase diagram of this system. For simplicity, neglect the temperature and
pressure dependence of both
When solid quartz "dissolves" in water, it combines with water molecules in the reaction
(a) Use this data in the back of this book to compute the amount of silica dissolved in water in equilibrium with solid quartz, at 25ยฐ C
(b) Use the van't Hoff equation (Problem 5.85) to compute the amount of silica dissolved in water in equilibrium with solid quartz at 100ยฐC.
Suppose you cool a mixture of 50% nitrogen and 50% oxygen until it liquefies. Describe the cooling sequence in detail, including the temperatures and compositions at which liquefaction begins and ends.
