Question

18.0 g of water completely vapourises at 100oC and 1 bar pressure and the enthalpy change in the process is 40.79 kj mol1. What will be the enthalpy change for vapourising two moles of water under the same conditions? What is the standard enthalpy of vapourisation for water?

Solution

Amount of heat required to vapourise one mole of a liquid at constant temperature and standard pressure is called its standard enthalpy of vapourization.

One mole of water weighs 18g and enthalpy change is 40.79 kj/mol. Since enthalpy of vapourization is given for 1 mole, its standard enthalpy of vapourization for water is same i.e, 40.79 kj/mol.

For 2 mole of water, enthalpy of vapourization will be 2×40.79=81.58 kj.
