Calculate the work donw when`1.0 mol` of water at `100^(@)C` vaporises against an atmospheric pressure of `1atm`. Assume ideal behaviour and volume of liquid water to be negligible.

Answer» Volume of water vapour `=(nRT)/(P) = (1xx0.082 xx 373)/(1.0)`
`= 30.592L`
`DeltaV = 30.59 - 0 = 30.59L`
`w = 1atm xx 30.59L =- 30.59Latm`
`w =- 30.59 xx 101.3J =- 3100J =- 3.1kJ`
