Question

If water vapour is assumed to be a perfect gas, molar enthalpy change for vaporization of 1 mol of water at 1 bar and 100 degree Celsius is 41kJ/mol. Calculate the internal energy change, when 1 mol of water is vaporised at 1 bar pressure and 100 degree Celsius.

Solution

The change of liquid water to vapour is represented asH2O(l) H2O(g)The relation between change in enthalpy and internal energy is given asH = E + RTnE= H- RT n = 41 - 8.314 ×10-3 × 373 × 1 = 41 - 3.10 = 37.90 kJ/mol
