The latent heat of evaporation of water is 80 kJ mol-1 . If 100 g water are evaporated at 100 °C and 1 atm, calculate W, ΔH, ΔU and Q. |

Answer» Given : Latent heat of evaporation = ΔH = 80 kJ mol-1 of water Temperature = T = 273 + 100 = 373 K Pressure = P = 1 atm Mass of water = m = 100 g Molar mass of water = 18 g mol-1 W = ?, ΔH = 1, U = ?, Q = ? Number of moles of water = \(\frac{m}{M}\) = \(\frac{100}{8}\) = 5.556 mol H2O(I) → H2O(g) 5.556 mol Change in number of moles = Δn = 5.556 – 0 = 5.556 mol For evaporation of 1 mol H2O, ΔH = 80 kJ For 5.556 mol H2O, ΔH= 80 × 5.556 = 444.5 kJ In this reaction, the work will be of expansion. W= -ΔnRT = -5.556 × 8.314 × 373 = – 17230 J = -17.23 kJ Now, ΔH = ΔU + ΔnRT ΔU = ΔH – ΔnRT = 444.5 – 5.556 × 8.314 × 373 × 10 = 444.5 – 17.23 = 427.27 kJ In this, Q = QP = ΔH = 444.5 kJ ∴ W= -17.23 kJ; ΔH = 444.5 kJ ΔU= 427.21 kJ, Q = 444.5 kJ |
