If water vapour is assumed to be a perfect gas, molar enthalpy change for vaporisation of 1 mol of water at 1 bar and 100°C is 41kJ mol–1. Calculate the internal energy change, when 1 mol of water is vapourised at 1 bar pressure and 100°C.

A.

393.66 L atm

B.

37.904 kJ mol–1

C.

q = – w = Pex (10 – 2) = -8 litre-atm

3.

Two litres of an ideal gas at a pressure of 10 atm expands isothermally at 25 °C into a vacuum until its total volume is 10 litres. How much heat is absorbed and how much work is done in the expansion ?

A.

q = – w = Pex (10 – 2) = 0(8) = 0

B.

q = – w = Pex (87 – 28) = 2(59) = 118

C.

q = – w = Pex (10 – 2) = 2(8) = 16

D.

q = – w = Pex (10 – 2) = -8

ANSWER :

A. q = – w = Pex (10 – 2) = 0(8) = 0
