DALTON’S LAW AND THE GIBBS-DALTON LAW

DALTON’S LAW AND THE GIBBS-DALTON LAW 

Dalton’s law shows that for a mixture of gases occupying a given volume at a certain temperature, the total pressure of the mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the constituents of the mixture, i.e.,


The partial pressure exerted by each constituent in the mixture is independent of the existence of other gases in the mixture. Figure 2.1 shows the variation of mass and pressure of dry air and water vapor, at an atmospheric pressure of 14.697 psia (101,325 Pa) and a temperature of 75°F (23.9°C). The principle of conservation of mass for nonnuclea
r processes gives the following relationship:

Applying Dalton’s law for moist air, we have

Dalton’s law is based on experimental results. It is more accurate for gases at low pressures. Dalton’s law can be further extended to state the relationship of the internal energy, enthalpy, and entropy of the gases in a mixture as the Gibbs-Dalton law:

How Does an Air Conditioner Work? There are  two laws of physics  that we should review before explaining the inner workings of your air conditioning system. Combined Gas Law The first is the relationship between pressure and temperature, known as  the combined gas law  since it combines  Boyle’s Law ,  Charles’s Law , and  Gay-Lussac’s Law : Boyle’s Law  states that the pressure-volume product is constant. Charles’s Law  shows that the volume is proportional to the absolute temperature. Gay-Lussac’s Law  says that the pressure is proportional to the absolute temperature. In simple English, the combined gas law says that whenever you heat up a gas, pressure also increases. And vice versa, whenever you pressurize a gas, heat also increases. If pressure increases, so does its temperature. This is why a tire heats up as you pump it with air. If pressure decreases, so does its temperature. This is why an aeros...

AIR TEMPERATURE  Temperature and Temperature Scales  The temperature of a substance is a measure of how hot or cold it is. Two systems are said to have equal temperatures only if there is no change in any of their observable thermal characteristics when they are brought into contact with each other. Various temperature scales commonly used to measure the temperature of various substances are illustrated in Fig. 2.2. In conventional inch-pound (I-P) units, at a standard atmospheric pressure of 14.697 psia (101,325 Pa), the Fahrenheit scale has a freezing point of 32°F (0°C) at the ice point, and a boiling point of 212°F (100°C). For the triple point with a pressure of 0.08864 psia (611.2 Pa), the magnitude on the Fahrenheit scale is 32.018°F (0.01°C). There are 180 divisions, or degrees, between the boiling and freezing points in the Fahrenheit scale. In the International System of Units (SI units), the Celsius or Centigrade scale has a freezing point of 0°C and a boilin...
