Question

Calculate the entropy change in surroundings when 1.00 mol of H2O(l) is formed under standard conditions. ΔfHθ = –286 kJ mol–1.

Open in App
Solution

It is given that 286 kJ mol–1 of heat is evolved on the formation of 1 mol of H2O(l). Thus, an equal amount of heat will be absorbed by the surroundings.

qsurr = +286 kJ mol–1

Entropy change (ΔSsurr) for the surroundings =

ΔSsurr = 959.73 J mol–1 K–1
