A

(1) qp = ∆H; (2) ∆H = ∆U + P∆V

40
Q

What is the law of corresponding states?

A

all fluids, when evaluated at the same reduced temperature + pressure, have roughly the same Z value and thus deviate from ideal gas behavior to the same degree

41
Q

For an ideal gas, internal energy (U) only depends on

A

mu(sub)JT and is equivalent to (di-T/di-P) at constant H

69
Q

In the Clausius Inequality, when does the equality sign apply and when does the inequality sign apply?
