For vaporization of water at 1 atmospheric pressure, the values of Delta H and Delta S are 40.63 KJ/mol""^(1) and 108.8 JK^(-1)/mol^(-1), respectively. The temperature when Gibbs energy change(Delta G) for this transformation will be zero, is :

Answer»

293.4 K
273.4 K
393.4 K
373.4 K

Solution :`H_(2) O_((L)) overset(1 "atm")(hArrr) H_(2) O_((g))`
`Delta H = 40630 "J mol"^(-1)`
`Delta S = 108.8 "JK mol"^(-1)`
`Delta G = Delta H - T Delta S`.
(When `Delta G = 0, Delta H - T Delta S= 0`)
`T= (Delta H)/( Delta S)= (40630 "J mol"^(-1) )/( 108.8 "J mol"^(-1) )`
`= 373.4` K
`THEREFORE` Correct answer is (D)
