Step-by-Step Solution

Verified
Answer

The estimated boiling point of CSis 323 K.

1Step1: Define the enthalpy of the reaction

The change in Gibbs free energy is as follows:

\({\bf{\Delta G = \Delta H - T\Delta S}}\) 

where, 

\({\bf{\Delta G }}\)= change in Gibbs free energy, 

\({\bf{\Delta H}}\) = change in enthalpy, 

T = absolute temperature in Kelvin, and 

\({\bf{\Delta S}}\) = change in entropy. 

 

The Gibbs free energy change is used to determine the spontaneity of a process. It is expressed in terms of the enthalpy and the entropy of a system.

 

Entropy is the degree of disorderness or randomness in a given system. The entropy change during a transition phase is expressed as

 

\({\bf{\Delta S = }}\frac{{{\bf{\Delta H}}}}{{\bf{T}}}\)

2Step 2: Determine the estimate the boiling point of CS 2

Given:

 

\({\rm{\Delta }}{{\rm{H}}^ \circ }f({\rm{KJ/mol}})\) 

\({{\rm{S}}^ \circ }f({\rm{J/Kmol}})\)

\({\rm{CS2}}\) (g)

115.3

237.8

\({\rm{CS2}}\)(l)

87.3

151

 

 

 

Carbon disulfide vaporization is given by

\({\rm{C}}{{\rm{S}}_{{\rm{2(l)}}}} \to {\rm{C}}{{\rm{S}}_{{\rm{2(g)}}}}\)

 

Solve for enthalpy change of vaporization

\(\Delta {H_{vap}} = \Delta H_{f\left( {C{S_{2(g)}}} \right.}^o - \Delta H_{f\left( {C{S_{2(l)}}} \right.}^o = 115.3 - 87.3 = 28\frac{{kJ}}{{ mole }}\)

 

Solve for entropy change of vaporization

\({\rm{\Delta }}{{\rm{S}}_{{\rm{vap}}}}{\rm{ = \Delta S}}_{{\rm{f}}\left( {{\rm{C}}{{\rm{S}}_{{\rm{2(g)}}}}} \right.}^{\rm{o}}{\rm{ - \Delta S}}_{{\rm{f}}\left( {{\rm{C}}{{\rm{S}}_{{\rm{2(l)}}}}} \right.}^{\rm{o}}{\rm{ = 237}}{\rm{.8 - 151 = 86}}{\rm{.8}}\frac{{\rm{J}}}{{{\rm{ mole  \times K}}}}\)

 

Solve boiling point using entropy definition for phase changes

\(\Delta {S_{vap}} = \frac{{\Delta {H_{vap}}}}{{{T_b}}}\)

\(\begin{array}{l}{{\rm{T}}_{\rm{b}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{\Delta }}{{\rm{H}}_{{\rm{vap}}}}}}{{{\rm{\Delta }}{{\rm{S}}_{{\rm{vap}}}}}}\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{28000}}\frac{{\rm{J}}}{{{\rm{ mole }}}}}}{{{\rm{86}}{\rm{.8}}\frac{{\rm{J}}}{{{\rm{ mole  \times K}}}}}}\\{\rm{ = 323K}}\end{array}\)
