Homework Statement
Calculate the Gibb’s energy of the vaporization of 1 kg of water at 50° C and 1 bar. The enthalpy change for the vaporization of water at its normal boiling point is 2257 J/g, and the heat capacities of liquid and vapour water are 4.18 J/g·K and 2.09J/g·K respectively. What does the answer tell you?
Homework Equations
delta_G=delta_H-Tdelta_S
delta_S=Q/T
The Attempt at a Solution
The answer is given as 519.2 kJ.
I assume that the delta_H value to be used in the equation is the one given. But I don't know how to get delta_S. I thought it could be 323*(2257/373) but that yield's the wrong answer. I can't see why the heat capacities have anything to do with it as we are talking about an isothermal process.
Thanks.
