Chemistry Question on Thermodynamics
When ΔHvap=30kJ/mol and ΔSvap=75J mol−1K−1, then the temperature of vapour, at one atmosphere, is ………K.
Answer
Using the relation at equilibrium:
ΔG=ΔH−TΔS=0
Rearranging for T:
T=ΔSΔH
Substitute the given values:
ΔHvap=30kJ/mol=30×103J/mol, ΔSvap=75J mol−1K−1
T=7530×103=400K
Final Answer: (400)
