Calculate the heat of vaporization of water at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The specific heat of water may be taken as $4.18 \mathrm{J} \mathrm{K}^{-1} \mathrm{g}^{-1}$. The heat capacity of water vapor at constant pressure in this temperature range is $33.5 \mathrm{JK}^{-1} \mathrm{mol}^{-1},$ and the heat of vaporization of water at $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is $2258 \mathrm{Jg}^{-1}$.

Key Concepts

Heat of Vaporization

This is the amount of energy required to convert a unit mass of a substance from the liquid phase to the vapor phase at constant temperature and pressure. It is a key thermodynamic quantity that reflects the energy needed to overcome intermolecular attractions during phase change.

Specific Heat Capacity

Specific heat capacity refers to the energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Kelvin. It is essential for determining energy changes associated with temperature variations within a phase, such as heating the liquid before vaporization.

Heat Capacity at Constant Pressure

Heat capacity at constant pressure is the amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of a system by one degree Kelvin when the pressure is held fixed. In the context of gases, it helps account for the energy changes due to temperature variations in the vapor phase during phase transformations.

Temperature Dependence of Enthalpy of Phase Transitions

The enthalpy change associated with phase transitions, such as vaporization, generally varies with temperature. Understanding this concept is crucial because it involves accounting for the additional energy required for temperature corrections when applying known latent heat values from one temperature to another.
