The molar excess Gibbs free energy, gE, for a binary liquid mixture at T and P is given by, (gE/RT) = A . x1. x2, where A is a constant. The corresponding equation for ln y1, where y1 is the activity co-efficient of component 1, is__________________?

Correct answer: A. A . x22

  • A. A . x22
  • B. Ax1
  • C. Ax2
  • D. Ax12

Explanation

The activity coefficient follows from differentiating the total excess Gibbs energy with respect to the amount of component 1. For gE/RT = A x1x2, this gives ln γ1 = A x2², corresponding to option a.
