3.) (14 points) Sketch a typical phase diagram for a one-component system. Make sure to carefully label all
the appropriate sections and points on the phase diagram. Explain the Gibbs phase rule and the role that
it plays in determining the degrees of freedom for each region or feature of the phase diagram.
A typical phase diagram for a one-component system is shown below.
Critical Point
L
S
Coexistence curves
P
V
Triple Point
T
Note that all phase diagrams of this type are graphs in which pressure is plotted on the y-axis with temperature
on the x-axis.
The Gibbs Phase Rule is F = C – Φ + 2, where F is the number of degrees of freedom, C is the number of
components, and Φ is the number of phases. For a one-component system, C = 1, so the phase rule reduces to F
= 1 – Φ + 2, or F = 3 – Φ.
The regions labeled S, L, and V correspond to regions in which only one phase is present, solid, liquid, or
vapor, respectively. In these regions, the Gibbs phase rule tells us that F = 3 – 1 = 2. This means that we are
free to select both P and T in those regions.
The regions on the phase diagram corresponding to the coexistence curves are lines along which two phases are
in equilibrium, either S-L, S-V, or L-V. The Gibbs phase rule tells us in this case that F = 3 – 2 = 1. This
means that if we select the temperature, then the pressure is fixed because it must lie on the coexistence curve.
(The same number of degrees of freedom holds for the critical point as well since it lies on the liquid-vapor
coexistence curve.)
Finally, at the triple point, all three phases are in equilibrium. The Gibbs phase rule in this case gives F = 3 – 3
= 0. This means that neither temperature nor pressure can be selected for a three-phase equilibrium. Both the
temperature and pressure are fixed at the triple point.

5.) (14 points) Nitrogen tetroxide decomposes according to the reaction
N 2O 4 ( g)
2 NO 2 ( g) .
At 55˚C and 1 atm, the average molecular weight of N2O4 and NO2 present at equilibrium is 61.2 g/mol.
Determine the equilibrium€constant. [Note: atomic
mass N = 14.007 g/mol; atomic mass O = 15.999
€
g/mol.]
We can use the average molecular weight to determine the equilibrium mole fractions. The equation for the
average molecular weight M is
M = x NO2 M NO2 + x N 2O4 M N 2O4 ,
€
where x is the gas phase mole fraction and M is the molecular weight. Since the sum of the mole fractions must
equal 1, we have
€
x NO2 + x N 2O4 = 1 ,
or
€
x NO2 = 1 − x N 2O4 .
Substituting into the expression for the average molecular weight yields
€
M = 1 − x N 2O4 M NO2 + x N 2O4 M N 2O4

x N 2O4 = 0.330 .
Then,
€
x NO2 = 1 − x N 2O4
x NO2
= 1 − 0.330
= 0.670 .
Knowing the mole fractions, we can now determine the equilibrium constant. Treating the gases as ideal gases,
the equilibrium constant can be determined as

liquid mercury is 13.69 g/mL and the density of solid mercury is 14.19 g/mL. Determine the molar
enthalpy of fusion. [The atmoic mass of Hg is 200.59 g/mol.]
