What is the change in the entropy when 1g of benzene, boils reversibly at its boiling point of 80.1C and a constant pressure of 1atm? The heat of vaporization of benzene is 395 J/g
Hvap = 395 J / g
mass of benzene = 1 g
heat = Hvap x mass
= ( 395 J / g ) x 1g
= 395 J
Temperature = T = 80.1 + 273 = 353.1 K
change in entropy = heat / temperature
= 395 / 353.1
= 1.19 J / K
change in entropy = 1.19 J / K
