The entropy versus temperature plot for phases $$\alpha$$ and $$\beta$$ at 1 bar pressure is given. $$S_T$$ and $$S_0$$ are entropies of the phases at temperatures T and 0 K, respectively.

The transition temperature for $$\alpha$$ to $$\beta$$ phase change is 600 K and $$C_{P,\beta} - C_{P,\alpha} = 1$$ J mol$$^{-1}$$ K$$^{-1}$$. Assume $$(C_{P,\beta} - C_{P,\alpha})$$ is independent of temperature in the range of 200 to 700 K. $$C_{P,\alpha}$$ and $$C_{P,\beta}$$ are heat capacities of $$\alpha$$ and $$\beta$$ phases, respectively.

Question 49

The value of enthalpy change, $$H_\beta - H_\alpha$$ (in J mol$$^{-1}$$), at 300 K is ____.

Correct Answer: 300

The enthalpy difference between the two phases at any temperature $$T$$ can be obtained by integrating the heat-capacity difference from 0 K to $$T$$.

For the given data, the heat-capacity difference is constant:
$$C_{P,\beta}-C_{P,\alpha}=1\ \text{J mol}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}$$

Starting from 0 K (where both phases may be taken to have the same enthalpy), the enthalpy difference at temperature $$T$$ is

$$\begin{aligned} H_\beta-H_\alpha &= \int_{0}^{T}\bigl(C_{P,\beta}-C_{P,\alpha}\bigr)\,dT \\ &= (C_{P,\beta}-C_{P,\alpha})\int_{0}^{T} dT \\ &= (C_{P,\beta}-C_{P,\alpha})\,T \end{aligned}$$

Substituting the numerical values for the required temperature $$T=300\ \text{K}$$:

$$H_\beta-H_\alpha = 1\ \text{J mol}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}\times 300\ \text{K} = 300\ \text{J mol}^{-1}$$

Hence, the enthalpy change at 300 K is 300 J mol$$^{-1}$$.
