What will be the temperature at which liquid and vapour of water will be at equilibrium with each other? Given data are\(\triangle\)Hvap = 40.73 kJ mol-1\(\triangle\)Svap = 0.109 kJ mol-1 K-1(a) 273 K(b) 373 K(c) 37° C(d) 110°C

Answer»

Answer is : (b) 373 K

We know that at equilibrium, \(\triangle G=0\) for

given reaction

\(H_2O(l) \rightleftharpoons H_2O(v)\)

At equilibrium, \(\triangle G=0\)

\(\triangle G=\triangle H-T\triangle S=0\)

\(\triangle H=T\triangle S\)

\(T=\frac{\triangle H}{\triangle S}\)

\(=\frac{40.73\, kJ\, mol^{-1}} {0.109 \,kJ\, mol^{-1}}\)

= 373 K
