Calculating the melting point of chlorine gas from
thermodynamic data
Problem
Calculate the melting point of Cl2 given
Hmelt=6.41 kJ/mol and Smelt=37.3
J/(mol-K).
- Recognize that at the melting point the system is in equilibrium.
- Recognize that at equilibrium G=0.
- Know that G=H=TS
- Find T where G=0
