Question: ( c ) Derive an expression for the free energy of mixing of an ideal solution in terms of the mole fraction of the components,

(c) Derive an expression for the free energy of mixing of an ideal solution in terms of the mole fraction of the components, starting from the expression:
Gm=Gm+RTln(pp) where Gm is the molar Gibbs free energy, Gm is the Gibbs free energy at standard pressure and p and p are the actual and standard pressures, respectively.
(d) Explain why two ideal solutions will tend to mix with one another over the whole composition range
(i) from the free energy of mixing;
(ii) in terms of the entropy and enthalpy of mixing ideal solutions.
(e) The enthalpy of mixing a regular solution is given by: Hmix=AB where is some interaction parameter, and is the mole fraction of components A and B. Derive an expression for the free energy of mixing a regular solution. Determine the value to two significant figures of at which de-mixing will start to occur at 100C.
