Question

Consider the transition between two forms of solid tin, $Sn (s$ , gray) $\to Sn (s$ , white). The two phases are in equilibrium at 1 bar and $1 8^{\circ} C$ . The densities for gray and white tin are 6000 and 7500 kg $m^{- 3}$ , respectively and the molar entropies of gray and white tin are 44.14 and $51.14 J K^{- 1} mol^{- 1}$ , respectively. Calculate the temperature (in $^{\circ} C$ ) at which the two phases are in equilibrium at 351 bar. ( $Sn = 119$ )

Answer:

-1.83

Solution:

Clapeyron equation relates pressure, temperature, and phase transitions. Calculate $Δ V_{m}$ , $Δ S_{m}$ , then solve for $T_{2}$ .
