Extensive and Intensive Properties

Extensive properties: dependent upon the size of the system or the sample.

Intensive properties: independent of the size of the system or the sample.

Question: which are extensive properties among the followings?

Mass, Energy, Heat Capacity, volume, temperature heat capacity, and pressure.

Measure of Quantity and Concentration

The quantity of a substance: expressed in terms of mass or weight, volume, or number of moles.

Concentration: the quantity of a substrate (i) in a certain quantity of a particular phase (j)

quantity of a substrate (i)C(i,j) =

quantity of a particular phase (j)

Concentrations and Other Units of Measure

How many molecules in a mole?

Concentration Units-Mass based, mg/L or g/L-Mole based (Molarity), mol/L or M-the concentration of charge associated with ions in water (Normality) eq/L = M X [charge/ion]

Example) 47.8 g of MgCl2 is dissolved in one liter of water. Calculate its mass-based concentration, molarity, and normality.

Ref) Atom mass for Mg = 24.3 g/mole; Atom mass for Cl = 35.5 g/mole

Concentration unitsConcentration units

CEE3330 Y2008 WEEK1

p-notation: negative logarithm of the molar concentration of a substrate, pC = -log [C]

e.g. pH = -log [H+]

Equivalent (eq): the quantity of a substrate equivalent to the quantity of the product in a particular reaction.

e.g. For the sulfuric acid reaction:

H2SO4 + 2H2O = 2H3O+ + SO42-

1 mol H2SO4 equivalent to 2 mol H+

Mass Fraction and Mole Fraction

Represent the ratio between the amount of the species and the total amount of the solution (fluid plus species)

% (percent): 1 part species per 100 parts solution%o (per mil): 1 part species per 1000 parts solutionppm (part per million): 1 part species per 106 parts solutionppb (part per billion): 1 part species per 109 parts solutionppt (part per trillion): 1 part species per 1012 parts solutioncf) molecular fraction, mass fraction, volumetric fraction

By convention (in general):-In air, fractions are generally expressed on a molar or volume basis (ex. 5ppb benzene = 5 x10-9 mole in a mole of air)-In water, fractions are generally expressed on a mass basis (ex. 5ppb benzene = 5 x10-9 gram in a gram of water)

FractionFraction

Partial Pressure

Species amounts in air may be expressed in terms of partial pressure.

Idea gas law: PV = nRT (cf. M = n/V = P/RT) here P=pressure, V=volume, R=idea gas constant (82.05 *10-6 mol-1 m3 atm K-1) T=absolute temperature (oK)

pi =Pi/Pair = (ni/Vi)/(nair/Vair)

Example) 5ppb benzene in air at Pair = 5 x 10-9 atm

Unit Conversion

Mass Conc. = molecular weight of species i * molarity of i. Ex) Mass concentration of benzene (C6H6) = 5μg/L Molecular weight of benzene = 12 x 6 + 1 x 6 = 78g/mol Molarity of benzene = 5 (μg/L) / 78 (g/mol) = 0.0128 μmol/L or 0.0128 μM

Mass concentration = solution density * mass fraction cf) Solution of density in dilute solution in water = 1g/ml

The molecular fraction of a species: Yi = Ci / Cair

Cair = P/RT When P = 1atm and T=293 oK, Cair = 41.6 mol/m3

[R=82.05 x10-6 atm * m3/(mol * K)] Ci = 41.6 μmol/m3 corresponds to a mole fraction of 1 ppm.

CEE3330 Y2013 WEEK3

MB1: the amount of a conserved property in a closed container does not change

MB2: the rate of change in the amount of a nonconserved property within a closed container is equal to the net rate of production of that property within the container.

MB3: the rate of change in the amount of a conserved property in an open container is equal to the difference between the rate of flow of that property into the container and the rate of flow out of the container.

MB4: the rate of change in the amount of a nonconserved property in an open container is equal to the rate of flow in, minus the rate of flow out, plus the net rate of production within the container.
