what is the entropy change for the vaporization of 3 mol H2O at 100 degrees Celcius and 1 atm? H=40700 J/mol Answer in J/K
We know that the equilibrium boiling temperature for water at 1 atm pressure is 100°C .So under these conditions, liquid water and water vapor are in equilibrium.
For an equilibrium reaction Gibbs free energy change is
zero.
H2O(l)
H2O(g)
ΔG = ΔHvap - TbΔSvap = 0
So ΔHvap = TbΔSvap
ΔHvap /Tb = ΔSvap
Given ΔHvap = 40700 J/mol
= 3x40700 J/ (3 mol) Given that it is 3 mole
= 122100 J/(3mol)
Tb = 100 oC = 100+273 = 373 K
ΔSvap = ΔHvap / Tb
= 122100 / 373
= 327.3 J/(3mol-K)
