    The enthalpy of vaporization of substance is \[840\,\,J\text{-}mo{{l}^{-1}}\] and its boiling point is\[-{{173}^{o}}C\]. Its entropy of vaporization is:

    A) \[42\,\,J\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}{{K}^{-1}}\]        

    B) \[21\,\,J\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}{{K}^{-1}}\]

    C)  \[84\,\,J\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}{{K}^{-1}}\]       

    D)  \[8.4\,\,J\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}{{K}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Key Idea:\[\Delta S=\frac{\Delta H}{T}\] where\[\Delta S=\]entropy of vaporisation. \[\Delta H=\]enthalpy of vaporisation\[=840\,\,J/mol\] \[T=-{{173}^{o}}C=-173+273=100\,\,K\] \[\therefore \]  \[\Delta S=\frac{840}{100}=8.4\,\,J\,\,mo{{l}^{-1}}{{K}^{-1}}\]
