The heat of vaporization of 1–pentanol is 55.5 kJ/mol, and its entropy of vaporization is 148 J/K•mol. What is the approximate boilingpoint of 1–pentanol?

Respuesta :

Answer:

375 K

Explanation:

Using the experssion shown below as:

[tex]\Delta G^0=\Delta H^0_{vap}-T\Delta S^0_{vap}[/tex]

At vaporization point, the liquid and the gaseous phase is in the equilibrium.

Thus,

[tex]\Delta G^0=0[/tex]

So,

[tex]Delta H^0_{vap}=T\Delta S^0_{vap}[/tex]

Given that:

[tex]Delta H^0_{vap}=55.5\ kJ/mol[/tex]

Also, 1 kJ = 10³ J

So,

[tex]Delta H^0_{vap}=55500\ J/mol[/tex]

[tex]\Delta S^0_{vap}=148\ J/K.mol[/tex]

So, temperature is :

[tex]T=\frac{Delta H^0_{vap}}{\Delta S^0_{vap}}[/tex]

[tex]T=\frac{55500}{148}[/tex]

T= 375 K
