Question 9.19 (Sixth Edition)

Postby Steve Magana 2I » Wed Feb 20, 2019 2:11 pm

Question: Calculate the standard entropy of vaporization of water at 85 degrees Celsius, given that its standard entropy of vaporization at 100. degrees Celsius is 109.0 J.K^-1.mol^-1 and the molar heat capacities at constant pressure of liquid water and water vapor are 75.3 J.K^-1.mol^-1 and 33.6 J.K^-1.mol^-1, respectively, in this range.

I'm not sure on where to start on this question, can someone help me get started? Thank you!

This question needs to be done in parts, remember that entropy is a state function, so as long as you end up with 85 being your final temperature, you can do whatever you want along the way. Try splitting up the entropy into 3 parts: what it takes to go from 85-100, at 100, then back down again.
