The density of the fat tristearin is 0.95 g cm−3 . calculate the change in molar gibbs energy of tristearin when a deep-sea creature is brought to the surface (p = 1.0 atm) from a depth of 2.0 km. to calculate the hydrostatic pressure, take the mean density of water to be 1.03 g cm−3 .

The formula for the change in Gibbs energy of a solid is:

ΔG = Vm ΔP

where, ΔG is change in Gibbs, Vm is molar volume, ΔP is change in pressure

ΔP = P(final) – P(initial)

P(final) = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

P(initial) = ρ_water *g *h = (1030 kg/m^3) * 9.8 m/s^2 * 2000 m = 20188000 kg m/s^2 = 20188000 Pa

Vm = (950 kg/m^3) * (1000 mol / 891.48 kg) = 1065.64 mol/m^3

So,

ΔG = (1065.64 mol/m^3) * (101325 Pa - 20188000 Pa)

ΔG = -21405164347 J = -21.4 GJ

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
