If the enthalpy change for the transition of liquid water to steam is 30 kJ mol-1 at 27 , the entropy change for the process would be
- 10 J mol-1 K-1
- 1.0 J mol-1 K-1
- 0.1 J mol-1 K-1
- 100 J mol-1 K-1
Answer
(4) 100 J mol-1 K-1
Solution
For a phase transition at equilibrium: S = HT
T = 27 + 273 = 300 K, H = 30 kJ mol-1 = 30000 J mol-1
S = 30000300
= 100 J mol-1 K-1
Answer: (4)
