If water vapour is assumed to be a perfect gas, molar enthalpy change for vaporization of 1 mol of water at 1 bar and 100°C is 41 kJ mol-1 Calculate the internal energy change, when: (i) 1 mol of water is vaporized at 1 bar pressure and 100°C. (ii) 1 mol of water is converted into ice. |

Answer» (i) H2O(l) → H2O(g) Δn(g) = 1 − 0 = 1 \(\because\) ΔH = ΔU + ΔngRT or ∆U = ∆H − ∆ngRT Given, ∆H = 41 kJ mol−1, T = 100 + 273 = 373 K \(\therefore\) ∆U = 41 kJ mol−1 − 1 × 8.3 J mol−1K−1 × 373 K = 37.904 kJ mol−1 (ii) H2O(l) → H2O(s) There is negligible change in volume. \(\therefore\) p∆V = ∆ngRT = 0 \(\therefore\) ∆H = ∆U Or ∆U = 41 kJ mol−1 |
