Exercise 3.6
Calculate∆H,q, and∆Sfor the reversible vaporization of 50.0 g of ethanol at 1.000 atm. The
molar enthalpy change of vaporization is equal to 40.48kJmol−^1 and the boiling temperature
at 1.000 atm is 78.5◦C.

Entropy Changes for Reversible Temperature Changes


Another simple class of processes consists of temperature changes in closed systems
without phase change or chemical reaction. If the pressure is constant, the relations of
Eqs. (2.5-6) and (2.5-8) give

dqdHCPdT (closed system, constant pressure) (3.3-5)

so that Eq. (3.3-2) becomes

EXAMPLE 3.6

Calculate∆Sand∆Ssurrfor reversibly heating 2.000 mol of liquid water from 0.00◦Cto
100.00◦C at a constant pressure of 1.00 atm.

Solution
The specific heat capacity of liquid water is nearly constant and equal to 1.00 cal K−^1 g−^1 or
4 .18JK−^1 g−^1.
