2.219. One mole of water being in equilibrium with a negligible
amount of its saturated vapour at a temperature T 1 was completely
converted into saturated vapour at a temperature T2. Find the ent-
ropy increment of the system. The vapour is assumed to be an ideal
gas, the specific volume of the liquid is negligible in comparison with
that of the vapour.
