What is the entropy change of a 0.349 g spoonful of water that evaporates completely on a hot plate whose temperature is slightly above the boiling point of water?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\Delta S = 2.11 J/K[/tex]

Explanation:

As we know that entropy change for phase conversion is given as

[tex]\Delta S = \frac{\Delta Q}{T}[/tex]

Here we know that heat required to change the phase of the water is given as

[tex]\Delta Q = mL[/tex]

here we have

[tex]m = 0.349 g = 3.49\times 10^{-4} kg[/tex]

L = 2250000 J/kg

now we have

[tex]\Delta Q = (3.49 \times 10^{-4})\times 2250000[/tex]

[tex]\Delta Q = 788.9 J[/tex]

also we know that temperature is approximately same as boiling temperature

so we have

[tex]T = 373 k[/tex]

so here we have

[tex]\Delta S = \frac{788.9}{373}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta S = 2.11 J/K[/tex]
