Problem Set

This document provides 10 problems related to phase changes and properties of one-component systems. The problems involve calculating transition temperatures, vapor pressures, enthalpies of phase changes, and triple points using data on molar volumes, densities, vapor pressure equations, and enthalpies of transitions. The questions require applying mathematical relationships between these thermodynamic properties.

1. At 127oC, HgI2 undergoes a polymorphic change from the red to the yellow form. The enthalpy of
transition is 1250 J mol-1, and the change in molar volume on transition is 5.4 cm 3 mol-1, the red form
being the less dense. Calculate the rate of change of transition temperature with pressure at 127 oC.
