18.0 g of water completely vaporises at 100∘C and 1 bar pressure and the enthalpy change in the process is 40.79 kJ mol−1. What will be the enthalpy change for vaporising two moles of water under the same conditions? What is the standard enthalpy of vaporisation for water?
Given that, quantity of water =18.0 g, pressure =1 bar
As we know that, 18.0 gH2O = 1 mole H2O
Enthalpy change for vaporising 1 mole of H2O = 40.79 kJ mo1−1
∴ Enthalpy change for vaporising 2 moles of H2O = 2 × 40.79 kJ= 81.358kJ
Standard enthalpy of vaporisation at 100∘C and 1 bar pressure, ΔvapH∘=+40.79 kJ mol−1
