Calculate ?U, ?A, ?G..
« on: November 30, 2005, 08:58:52 PM »
Two moles of water are allowed to vaporize at 100°C and 1 atm pressure.  The heat of vaporization of water at this pressure and temperature is 540 cal/g.  Calculate ?U, ?A, ?G, w, q, ?H, and ?S for this process in units of calories.  (This is just an example problem that I didn't know how to do.)

What have you done so far?

Did you search this site? This might help a little:

consider boiling water as an open system,

dH = Q + W = Q + VdP
Constant Pressure (dP=0): dH = Q

H = U + PV
Constant Pressure: dH = dU + PdV

Since at 100C, 1atm, water is at equilibrium, then
 ?S = Q/T

Mike's link will give you a clue on the value of dG.

To find ?A, try differentiating the expression for A
