Calculate the boiling point of bromine from the following data : DeltaH^(0) and DeltaS^(0) values of Br_(2)(l) to Br_(2)(g) are 30.91 kJ/"mole" and 93.2 J/"mol". K respectively. Assume that DeltaH and DeltaS do not vary with temperature.

Answer»

Solution :Consider the process : `Br_(2)(L) to Br_(2)(G)`
The b.p. of a LIQUID is the temperature at which the liquid and the pure gas coexist at equilibrium at 1 atm
`:. DeltaG=0`
As it is given that `DELTAH` and `DeltaS` do not change with temperture
`DeltaH=DeltaH^(@)=30.91kJ`
`DeltaS=DeltaS^(@)=93.2J//K=0.0932kJ//K`
We have,
`DeltaG=DeltaH-TDeltaS=0`
`:.T=(DeltaH)/(DeltaS)=(30.91)/(0.0932)=331.6K`
This is the temperature at which the SYSTEM is in equilibrium that is the b.p. of bromine.
