Using the following thermochemical equations, determine the enthalpy of vaporisation of water: H₂(g) + 1/2 O₂(g) → H₂O(l), ΔH = -286 kJ H₂(g) + 1/2 O₂(g) → H₂O(g), ΔH = -245.5 kJ

  1. 6.02 kJ
  2. 40.5 kJ
  3. 62.3 kJ
  4. 1.25 kJ

Correct answer: 62.3 kJ

Solution

The enthalpy of vaporization of water can be calculated by taking the difference between the enthalpy of formation of water in the gas state and the liquid state. This results in 62.3 kJ, which represents the energy required to convert liquid water to vapor.
