Standard states
• For a simple liquid mixture (of volatile nonelectrolytes), standard state could be the pure liquid at T and P
• For the mixture of a nonvolatile solute and a solvent, we use the same standard state for the solvent, but not for the solute (typically does not exist as a liquid at T&P)

Solution of an electrolyte
• Solute dissociates into cations and anions.
• Example: 1 mol of NaCl is dissolved in 1 kg of water gives 1 molal solution of NaCl that is fully dissociated into 1m of Na+ ions and 1 m of Cl- ions.
• Condition of electroneutrality applies: the number of moles of cations and anions cannot be varied independently

• Valid only for very low concentrations, mainly because of
– Ion-ion repulsion (size effects)– Dispersion forces– Solvent is not a continuum

Solubility product
If we know Ksp, and we can estimate the mean ionic activity coefficient and the activity of water, for example from Pitzer’s model, we can calculate the molalities of the individual species in solution
![Page 47: Electrolyte Solutions From JM Prausnitz, RN Lichtenthaler, and E Gomes de Azevedo “Molecular Thermodynamics of Fluid Phase Equilibria” Prentice Hall](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649f465503460f94c67b00/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
47
Estimates of Ksp
• Ksp at a reference temeprature (for example 298 K) can be obtained from the standard Gibbs free energies of formation of the solid and aqueous species at the T of the solution (generally found in tables)
• To obtain Ksp at a different T, we use the T-dependence of an equilibrium constant and integrate to the desired T. Usually we need enthalpy and Cp data for each species at the reference temperature.

Results for two solid salts in an aqueous ternary mixture (see procedure next slide)

49
To obtain molalities
• calculate Ksp at the appropriate T
• fix m of one of the non-common ions and calculate m for the other ion; the procedure is iterative because both the mean activity coefficient and the solvent activity depend on the molalities
• the intersection between the two curves gives points of equilibrium of two solids with an aqueous solution
