Question: This exercise will take us through the process of modeling glucose solubility in ethanol + water mixtures at 3 5 C . In some cases,

This exercise will take us through the process of modeling glucose solubility in ethanol +
water mixtures at 35C. In some cases, limited data are available. The heat of fusion of
glucose is not available.
Goal: Predict glucose solubility in ternary mixtures from binary measurements.
Molecular weights are: Glucose =180.16,EtOH=46.07, Water =18.02gmol.
Method: We will use the Margules because it is simple and the system is isothermal. The
equilibrium relation is
ln(x22)=(-H2fusR)(1T-1Tm,2)
I. Binary Glucose + Water
The following data are available for total pressure of a water + glucose solution from J.B. Taylor
and J.S. Rowlinson (Trans. Farad. Soc., 1955,51,1183).
(a) Fit the data at xG=0.1305 to lnw=BxG2. Then calculate pressure for xG=0.1954 to
demonstrate that the fit represents the data.
(b) The solubility of glucose is H2O at 35C is 58.18wt%. Using the model fitted in part (a), what
is the activity of glucose at saturation, using lnw=BxG2?
(c) What can you say about the activity of glucose in other solvents that are saturated at 35C?This exercise will take us through the process of modeling glucose solubility in ethanol + water mixtures at 35C . In some cases, limited data are available. The heat of fusion of glucose is not available. Goal: Predict glucose solubility in ternary mixtures from binary measurements. Molecular weights are: Glucose =180.16,EtOH=46.07, Water =18.02(g)/(m)ol . Method: We will use the Margules because it is simple and the system is isothermal. The equilibrium relation is ln(x_(2)\gamma _(2))=(-\Delta (H_(2)^(fus))/(R))((1)/(T)-(1)/(T_(m,2))) I.
