Thermodynamics Question 6

Question 6 - 2024 (29 Jan Shift 2)

Standard enthalpy of vapourisation for $CCl _4$ is $30.5 kJ mol^{-1}$. Heat required for vapourisation of $284 g$ of $CCl _4$ at constant temperature is $kJ$.

(Given molar mass in $gmol^{-1} ; C=12, Cl=35.5$ )

Answer (56)

Solution

$\Delta H _{\text {vap }}^{0} CCl _4=30.5 kJ / mol$

Mass of $CCl _4=284 gm$

Molar mass of $CCl _4=154 g / mol$

Moles of $CCl _4=\frac{284}{154}=1.844 mol$

$\Delta H _{\text {vap }}{ }^{\circ}$ for $1 mole=30.5 kJ / mol$

$\Delta H _{vap}{ }^{\circ}$ for $1.844 mol=30.5 \times 1.844$

$=56.242 kJ$
