What is the change in enthalpy when 180 g of water vapor condenses at 100°C? (AH, = 40.67 kJ/mol) a. 565 kJ
b. -565 kJ c.
-407 kJ d.
407 kJ​

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, considering that the heat has two forms, sensible (variable temperature) and latent (constant temperature), we can notice that phase changes account for latent heat as the temperature remains the same. In such a way, given the enthalpy of vaporization of water, 40.67 kJ/mol, the enthalpy of condensation (reverse process) is the negative value, -40.67 kJ/mol; therefore, the associated latent heat would be:
