QUESTION

The Gibbs free energy of a binary liquid mixture at atmospheric pressure and T gt; 260K is given by the following: G ( x , T ) = 2.75 x^ 4 6.6 x^ 3...

The Gibbs free energy of a binary liquid mixture at atmospheric pressure and T > 260K is given by the following: 

G(x,T ) = 2.75x^4 −6.6x^3 +0.025Tx^2 −1.16641x^2 −2^x 

 1) Sketch a qualitative phase diagram in the T-x1 plane. 

(2) If the mixture shows any two-phase behavior, give the equation for the spinodal curve and calculate the spinodal composition of component 1 in two phases at 260 K. 

(3) Calculate any critical solution temperatures and critical composition of component 1. 

(4) Explain why this equation is invalid for a binary liquid mixture and violates the classical thermodynamics.
