What is the molar heat of vaporization?
Answers
The molar heat of vaporization of a substance is the heat absorbed by one mole of that substance as it is converted from a liquid to a gas. As a gas condenses to a liquid, heat is released.
if the problem provides the two pressure and two temperature values, use the equation ln(P1/P2)=(Hvap/R)(T1-T2/T1xT2), where P1 and P2 are the pressure values; Hvap is the molar heat of vaporization; R is the gas constant; and T1 and T2 are the temperature values.
The molar heat of vaporization is the energy needed to vaporize one mole of a liquid. The units are usually kilojoules per mole, or kJ/mol.The molar heat of sublimation is the energy needed to sublime one mole of a solid, and the molar heat of fusion is the energy needed to melt one mole of a solid.
