Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

If the enthalpy change for the transition of liquid water to steam is 30 kJ mol⁻¹ at 27°C, the entropy change for the process would be

A

100 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹

B

10 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹

C

1.0 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹

D

0.1 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

ΔS_vap = ΔH_vap / T = 30 kJ/mol / 300K = 100 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹.
