1.8 g water is vapourised by supplying 4 kJ heat at 100^ C . What is the heat of vapourisation of water at same temperature?
Options
- A8 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹
- B40 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹
- C18 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹
- D32 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹
Correct answer
B. 40 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹
Step-by-step solution
Heat of vaporization is the heat required to vaporize one mole of a substance at its boiling point. Given 4 kJ vaporizes 1.8 g of water, and the molar mass of water is 18 g/mol, the number of moles is n = 1.8 18 = 0.1 mol. The heat of vaporization is calculated as H_ vap = total heat n = 4 0.1 = 40 kJ/mol. The result corresponds to option B.
