On formula sheet, I am given that deltaHvap = 40.7kj/mol
But when I find that using the numbers given, in his equation:
H20(l) --> H20(g)
the deltaHrxn = 44.01 kj/mol
Why are they different?

Why should the value of delta G be zero at 100 Celsius for water? CONCEPTUALLY. I am referencing 9.91. I get how experimental data can skew numbers, but why should delta G be zero in the first place. Is this saying a phase change is at equilibrium?

Entropy of vaporization? 9.37
Why wouldn' you subtract the entropy of vaporization in this problem for part a?
H2(g) + 1/2O2(g) --> H2O(l)
Delta S = Sproducts - S reactants
There is a phase change. We did something like this for enthalpy, so why not for entropy.

entropy to surroundings
The second law states that disorder is always increasing, thus if I have a reaction with decreasing entropy, then the surroundings would have increases entropy. How would I calculate this

Re: Enthalpy Change in a Closed System
Depends on the system. In this class, we usually deal with systems at constant pressure or constant volume, usually constant temperature too. So if you have a net production of gas (change in moles) than the pressure would increase in response to more frequent collisions. However, in this class, I w...

Re: Steam
Steam causes burns because the amount of heat that 100*C of gas has compared to 100*C of liquid is much higher because the heat of vaporization requires a lot of heat input before phase change (liquid to gas)

Think of a resonance structure, the C-H are bounded and when you have 3 moles of c2h2, you are not breaking those c-h bonds or forming. You are putting the c-c bonds together. Look up c6h6 on internet.
