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

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

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

    C)  \[84\text{ }J\text{ m}o{{l}^{-1}}{{K}^{-1}}\]

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

    E)  \[0.028\text{ }J\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}{{K}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The entropy change for the vaporization of water to steam is given by \[\Delta S=\frac{\Delta {{H}_{vap}}}{T}\] \[\Delta H=840\,J\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\] \[T=-173+273=100{}^\circ K\] \[\Delta S=\frac{\Delta H}{T}\] \[\Delta S=\frac{840}{100}=8.4\,J\,mo{{l}^{-1}}{{K}^{-1}}\]
