AIPMT MAINS 2010 Chemistry Gibbs Free Energy MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

For vaporization of water at 1 atmospheric pressure, the values of ΔH and ΔS are 40.63 kJ mol⁻¹ and 108.8 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹, respectively. The temperature when Gibbs energy change (ΔG) for this transformation will be zero, is

A

273.4 K

B

393.4 K

C

373.4 K

D

293.4 K

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS. Setting ΔG to zero gives T = ΔH/ΔS = 40.63 × 10³ J / 108.8 J K⁻¹ = 373.4 K.
