A swimmer coming out from a pool is covered with a film of water weighing about 18 g. How much heat must be supplied to evaporate this water at 298 K? Calculate the internal energy of vaporization at 100°C.∆vapHΘ for water at 373 K = 40.66 kJ mol-1 |

Answer» Given that 18gH2O(l) \(\overset{vaporisation}{\rightarrow}\) 18gH2O (g) No. of moles in 18 g H2O(l) =\(\frac{18g}{18g\,mol^{-1}}\) ∆vapUΘ = ∆vapHΘ − p∆V = ∆vapHΘ − ∆ngRT (Assuming steam behaves as an ideal gas) = 40.66 kJ mol−1 − 1 × 8.314 JK−1 mol−1 × 373K × 103 kJ J−1 = 40.66 kJ mol−1 − 3.10 kJ mol−1 = 37.56 kJ mol−1 |
