Enthalpy of Phase transition
Question

  ΔfH  of  H2Ol  is –286 kJ / mole and ΔfH  of  H2Og  is –246 kJ / mole, then the enthalpy change when 9 grams of water vapour condenses liquid water is

Easy
Solution

H2(g) +  12O2(g)  H2Ol;ΔH=286  kJ        ……. (1)

H2(g) +  12O2(g) H2Og;ΔH=246  kJ        ……..(2)

Eq(1) – Eq(2)

H2Og  H2Ol; ΔH=40  kJ/mole

For 18g , enthalpy change is  -40kJ

For 9 grams, enthalpy change will be – 20 kJ.
