Question

Standard enthalpy of vapourisation ΔvapH0 for water at 1000C is 40.66 kJ.mol1. The internal energy change of vapourisation of water at 1000C (in kJ.mol1) is:

Solution

We know that,
For gaseous reactant and products we have a relation between standard enthalpy of vaporization (ΔvapH0) and internal energy (ΔV)

ΔVapH0=ΔV0+ΔngRT.

Where, Δng=n2n1, different between number of moles of reactant and product.

For vaporization of water:
H2O(l)H2O(g)

So, change in no. of moles =Δng=10=1
Thus,
ΔvapH0=ΔvapU0+RTΔvapU0=ΔvapH0RT=40.66(8.314×103×373K) =40.663.10kJ/mol =37.55kJ/mol
