what is the vaporisation enthalpy of water for a pressure of 500kPa ?
Answer Enthalpy of vaporisation of water at 500 kPa = 37.66 KJ/mol
Using clausius clapeyron equation, the boiling point of water at 500 kPa is calculated to be 425 K
Using watson equation, the heat of vaporisation of water at 425 K is calculated
knowing the critical temperature of water is 647 K.
The enthalpy of vaporisation of water at a pressure of 500 kPa is found to be = 37.66 KJ/mol
