Chapter 10 Problem 10.154

Question

Although we often assume that the heat capacity of a substance is not temperature-dependent, this is not strictly true, as shown by the following data for ice: Temperature (8C) Cp (J K21 mol21) 2200. 12 2180. 15 2160. 17 2140. 19 2100. 24 260. 29 230. 33 210. 36 0 37 Use these data to calculate graphically the change in entropy for heating ice from 2200.8C to 08C. (Hint: Recall that DST1ST2 5 3 T2 T1 Cp dT T and that integration from T1 to T2 sums the area under the curve of a plot of Cp/T versus T from T1 to T2.)

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 10 problem number 1314 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Although we often assume that the heat capacity of a substance is not temperature-dependent, this is not strictly true, as shown by the following data for ice: Temperature (8C) Cp (J K21 mol21) 2200. 12 2180. 15 2160. 17 2140. 19 2100. 24 260. 29 230. 33 210. 36 0 37 Use these data to calculate graphically the change in entropy for heating ice from 2200.8C to 08C. (Hint: Recall that DST1ST2 5 3 T2 T1 Cp dT T and that integration from T1 to T2 sums the area under the curve of a plot of Cp/T versus T from T1 to T2.)
From the textbook chapter Spontaneity, Entropy, and Free Energy you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
