Question

If water vapour is assumed to be a perfect gas, molar enthalpy changes for vaporization of 1 mol of water at 1 bar 𝑎𝑛𝑑 100C 𝑖𝑠 41 kJ mol1. Calculate the internal energy change, when 1 mol of water is vaporized at 1 bar pressure and 100C.

Open in App
Solution

Internal energy change

The given change, H2O(l)H2O(g)

n(g)=10=1 mol

H=U+ngRT

or U=HngRT

Given,

H=41 kJ mol1,

T=100C=373 K

U=41(kJmol1)1(mol)×8.314×103(kJmol1K1­)×373 K

U=37.898 kJmol1

Final answer: U=37.898 kJ mol1
