Homework Statement
At constant atmospheric pressure, 20g of water at 30C is converted into steam at 250C. Assume the heat capacity of liquid water is constant at 4.2 J/gK and the heat of vaporization at 100C is 2260 J/g. The molar heat capacity of water vapor at constant pressure is given by
\frac{c_p}{R} = a + bT + CT^2
where a= 3.634,{ } b= 1.195*10^{-3} K^{-1},{ } c=1.350*10^{-7} K^{-2}
Find the entropy change of the water.
Homework Equations
\Delta S = \frac{dQ}{T}
dQ = \int c_p dT
The Attempt at a Solution
My first thought was just to plug in the given equation for C_p into (1) and integrating, but I'm not sure how the heat of vaporization comes into play.
