The theoretical minimum work required to separate one mole of a liquid mixture at 1 atm, containing 50 mole % each of n- heptane and n- octane into pure compounds each at 1 atm is
The theoretical minimum work required to separate one mole of a liquid mixture at 1 atm, containing 50 mole % each of n- heptane and n- octane into pure compounds each at 1 atm is Correct Answer -RT ln 0.5
Entropy of mixing is$$\eqalign{ & = - R\sum {{X_i}\ln {x_i}} \cr & = - R\left \cr} $$
Since, work $$ = T\Delta S = - RT\,\ln \,0.5.$$
