Chemistry Question on Thermodynamics

When ΔHvap=30kJ/mol\Delta H_{\text{vap}} = 30 \, \text{kJ/mol} and ΔSvap=75J mol1K1\Delta S_{\text{vap}} = 75 \, \text{J mol}^{-1} \text{K}^{-1}, then the temperature of vapour, at one atmosphere, is K\dots \dots \dots \, \text{K}.

Answer

Using the relation at equilibrium:
ΔG=ΔHTΔS=0\Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S = 0
Rearranging for TT:
T=ΔHΔST = \frac{\Delta H}{\Delta S}
Substitute the given values:
ΔHvap=30kJ/mol=30×103J/mol\Delta H_\text{vap} = 30 \, \text{kJ/mol} = 30 \times 10^3 \, \text{J/mol}, ΔSvap=75J mol1K1\Delta S_\text{vap} = 75 \, \text{J mol}^{-1} \text{K}^{-1}
T=30×10375=400KT = \frac{30 \times 10^3}{75} = 400 \, \text{K}
Final Answer: (400)

Explanation

Solution

Using the relation at equilibrium:
ΔG=ΔHTΔS=0\Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S = 0
Rearranging for TT:
T=ΔHΔST = \frac{\Delta H}{\Delta S}
Substitute the given values:
ΔHvap=30kJ/mol=30×103J/mol\Delta H_\text{vap} = 30 \, \text{kJ/mol} = 30 \times 10^3 \, \text{J/mol}, ΔSvap=75J mol1K1\Delta S_\text{vap} = 75 \, \text{J mol}^{-1} \text{K}^{-1}
T=30×10375=400KT = \frac{30 \times 10^3}{75} = 400 \, \text{K}
Final Answer: (400)
