Chapter 9 Problem 9.120

Question

The heat of vaporization of water at the normal boiling point, 373.2 K, is 40.66 kJ/mol. The specific heat capacity of liquid water is 4.184 J K21 g21 and of gaseous water is 2.02 J K21 g21. Assume that these values are independent of temperature. What is the heat of vaporization of water at 298.2 K? Does this result agree with Appendix 4 data?

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 9 problem number 120 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The heat of vaporization of water at the normal boiling point, 373.2 K, is 40.66 kJ/mol. The specific heat capacity of liquid water is 4.184 J K21 g21 and of gaseous water is 2.02 J K21 g21. Assume that these values are independent of temperature. What is the heat of vaporization of water at 298.2 K? Does this result agree with Appendix 4 data?
From the textbook chapter Energy, Enthalpy, and Thermochemistry you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
