The enthalpy change for the transition of liquid water to steam is 40.8 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹ at 373 K . Calculate the entropy of vaporisation of water.
Options
- A109.4 JK ⁻¹ ~mol ⁻¹
- B10.94 JK ⁻¹ ~mol ⁻¹
- C1.094 JK ⁻¹ ~mol ⁻¹
- D1009.4 JK ⁻¹ ~mol ⁻¹
Correct answer
A. 109.4 JK ⁻¹ ~mol ⁻¹
Step-by-step solution
aligned & S_ vap = H_ vap T & H_ vap =40.8 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹, T=373 ~K & S_ vap = 40.8 10^3 373 =109.4 JK ⁻¹ ~mol ⁻¹ aligned
