AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the enthalpy changes associated with the phase transitions of water. It highlights that the formation of water vapor at standard state releases -241 KJ/mol, while liquid water formation releases -284 KJ/mol. A key point raised is the energy required to convert liquid water at 25°C to vapor, which is 44 KJ/mol. The inquiry focuses on whether this energy requirement changes with temperature and seeks a formula for the variation of enthalpy change (ΔH) with temperature. The conversation suggests a need for understanding the relationship between temperature and enthalpy in phase changes.

So when they said that to produce water vapor at standard state it releases -241 KJ/mol
and liquid water -284 KJ/mol

You can't create water vapor at standard temperature but I assume they used Hess' law
Anyway, my question is when you change from water to vapor you need 44KJ/mol

So that would be the energy required to change from 25 C liquid to 25 C vapor.
Does it change for example when you want to change it from another temperature?

Yes. Do you know a formula for the variation of ΔH with temperature?
 
It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
