The equilibrium constant of the reaction ���������������������� CH3OH(1)+C2H5OD(1) → CH3OD(1)+C2H5OH(1) is obtained from vapour pressure measurements on methanol+ethanol systems. The value obtained, 1.03�0.01 at 298 K, is in good agreement with that calculated independently from previously reported vapour pressure studies of water+methanol and water+ethanol systems. Vapour pressures at 298.15 K are reported for the systems CH3OH+C2H5OH, CH3OH+C2H5OD, CH3OD+C2H5OH and CH3OD+C2H5OD. Molar excess Gibbs functions are obtained from these vapour pressures.

A method is proposed for the determination of the equilibrium constants of liquid-phase deuterium exchange reactions from vapour pressure measurements. It is applied to water-ethanol systems to give the equilibrium constant of the reaction 2C2H5OH(l) + D2(l) → 2C2H5OD(l) + H2O(l) The value obtained, 1.05+0.02 at 298 K, is significantly greater than the 'random' value and is more precise and reasonable than a recent calorimetric estimate. Vapour pressures at 298.14 K are reported for the systems H2O+C2H5OH, H2O+C2H5OD, D2O + C2H5OH and D2O + C2H5OD. Molar excess Gibbs functions are obtained from these vapour pressure measurements.

Fundamentals of Electrochemistry build on basic oxidation-reduction reactions and present an overview of their use in electrochemical cells. The construction and operation of a galvanic cell is described with cell diagrams including the function of the electrodes (cathode and anode). Also covered are the standard electrode potential and its applications, including calculations involving the standard electrode potential, the Gibbs free energy and the equilibrium constant, determination of the spontaneity in redox reactions and the dependence of cell potential on concentration (the Nernst equation). Finally a qualitative and quantitative overview of electrolysis is presented with a focus on predicting the products of electrolysis and the stoichiometry of electrolysis, which relates the charge flowing through an electrolytic cell to the amount of products formed at the electrodes.
