he normal freezing point of water is 0.0 degrees celsius. at this temperature the density of liquid water is 1.000 g/mL and density of ice is 0.917 g/mL. the increase in enthalpy for the melting ice at this temperature is 6010 J/mol. What is the freezing point of the water at 200 atms?
Solution.
The curve along which a pure crystal and its melt maintain equal chemical potentials is given by an equation:
Let's suppose we have 1 mole of water, which weighs 18 g.
The volume of a liquid is Vl = 18/1 = 18 mL;
the volume of a solid is Vs = 18/0.917 = 19.63 mL;
the difference is 18-19.63 = -1.63 mL/mol.
T = 271.66 K, or -1.49 °C.
