Calculate the change in entropy when 1.00 kg of water at 100 ∘C is vaporized and converted to steam at 100 ∘C. Assume that the heat of vaporization of water is 2256×103J/kg.

Respuesta :

Answer : The change in entropy is [tex]6.05\times 10^3J/K[/tex]

Explanation :

Formula used :

[tex]\Delta S=\frac{m\times L_v}{T}[/tex]

where,

[tex]\Delta S[/tex] = change in entropy = ?

m = mass of water = 1.00 kg

[tex]L_v[/tex] = heat of vaporization of water = [tex]2256\times 10^3J/kg[/tex]

T = temperature = [tex]100^oC=273+100=373K[/tex]

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

[tex]\Delta S=\frac{(1.00kg)\times (2256\times 10^3J/kg)}{373K}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta S=6048.25J/K=6.05\times 10^3J/K[/tex]

Therefore, the change in entropy is [tex]6.05\times 10^3J/K[/tex]
