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
