The molar enthalpy of vaporization of ethanol is AvapH = 42.3 kJ/mol at its normal boiling point of 351.5 K. (a) Determine its molar entropy of vaporization at the boiling point, AvapS, in J/K.

Use this information to estimate AvapH (in kJ/mol) at T = 320 K, assuming that the heat capacities of the liquid and gaseous states are constant over this temperature range. Hint: Construct a multi-step process that includes vaporization at 320 K, but includes a step with vaporization at Tvap. Is this enthalpy of vaporization larger or smaller in magnitude from the standard value?

Question
The molar enthalpy of vaporization of ethanol is AvapH = 42.3 kJ/mol at its normal boiling
point of 351.5 K.
(a) Determine its molar entropy of vaporization at the boiling point, AvapS, in J/K.
(b) The values of Cp for liquid and for gaseous ethanol for 300 < T< 400 are 112.4 and 70.85
J/mol-K, respectively. Use this information to estimate AvapH (in kJ/mol) at T = 320 K,
assuming that the heat capacities of the liquid and gaseous states are constant over this
temperature range. Hint: Construct a multi-step process that includes vaporization at 320
K, but includes a step with vaporization at Tvap. Is this enthalpy of vaporization larger or
smaller in magnitude from the standard value?
