The boiling point of water at \(1 \mathrm{~atm}\) is \(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Which among the following is true for vaporisation of water at \(75^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ?

  1. A \(\Delta G_{\text {vap }}^{\circ}>0\)
  2. B \(\Delta H_{\text {vap }}^{\circ} < 0\)
  3. C \(K_{\text {vap }}=1\)
  4. D \(\Delta S_{\text {vap }}^0 < 0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\Delta G_{\text {vap }}^{\circ}>0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to standard Gibbs free energy equation i.e., \[ \begin{aligned} & \Delta G^{\circ}=\Delta H^{\circ}-T \Delta S^{\circ} \\ & \Delta G^{\circ}=-T \Delta S^{\circ} \\ & \Delta G^{\circ} \propto-T \end{aligned} \] It means \(\Delta G^{\circ}\) is inversely proportional to…
