- Abstract
Once a number of fundamental thermodynamic notions associated to a reversible, ideal-gas phase chemical reaction were determined, among them the equation for its path, the equation for its driving force, and via this last one, the equation quantifying its work output at any given point along its unfolding, we proceeded to study in detail the occurrence of this reaction in a van't Hoff equilibrium box. The results obtained not only evinced the similarity existing between the way work is produced in both, the van't Hoff equilibrium box and Carnot's heat engine, but also the fact that like the latter, the former is also a cyclical process. The fundamental difference between the two being that while in Carnot's engine work is produced out of the heat transferred from a hotter to a colder heat reservoir, in van't Hoff's work comes out of the transfer of chemical matter between two different chemical states described by chemical potentials.
