CALCULATING AN ENTROPY OF VAPORIZATION
The boiling point of water is 100 °C, and the enthalpy change for the conversion of water to steam is ΔH_{vap} = 40.67 kJ/mol. What is the entropy change for vaporization, ΔS_{vap}, in J/(K · mol)?
STRATEGY
At the temperature where a phase change occurs, the two phases coexist in equilibrium and ΔG , the free-energy difference between the phases, is zero: ΔG = ΔH − TΔS = 0.
Rearranging this equation gives ΔS = ΔH/T , where both ΔH and T are known.
Remember that T must be expressed in kelvin.
