If the enthalpy change for the transition of liquid water to steam is 30 kJ mol⁻¹ at 27°C, the entropy change for the process would be:
- 10 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹
- 1.0 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹
- 0.1 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹
- 100 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹
Correct answer: 10 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹
Solution
The entropy change (ΔS) is calculated using the formula ΔS = ΔH/T, where ΔH is the enthalpy change and T is the temperature in Kelvin. Converting 27°C to Kelvin gives T = 300 K. Substituting, ΔS = 30,000 J mol⁻¹ / 300 K = 100 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹.
