Solution: the δhvap of a certain compound is 48.17 kj mol-1 and its δsvap is 52.91 j mol-1•k-1. what is the boiling point of this compound?

910.44K

Explanation:

From the question, the parameters given are; ∆H(vaporization)= 48.17 kJ/mol and ΔS(vaporization)= 52.91 J mol-1•K.

Using the formula;

dG = dH - TdS (1).

Here, dG=0, dG= change in free energy.

dH(vaporization) = 48,170 J/mol

dS(vaporization) = 52.91 J/mol.K

Boiling point of the substance, T=???

Therefore, we solve for T(temperature, that is the boiling point-boiling temperature) of the compound in Kelvin.

Slotting in the parameters given into equation (1). We have;

0= 48,170 J/mol - T× 52.91 J/mol.K

=> 48,170= 52.91T

T= 910.44 K

the population of unionid mussels in the hudson river decreased after zebra mussels were introduced. zebra mussels, a nonnative species, competed with the unionid mussels for food. the zebra mussels were able to outcompete the unionid mussels, allowing the zebra mussel population to increase dramatically over six years. the unionid mussel population decreased due to a lack of food.

hope this :
