Question
Calculate the total entropy change, $\Delta \mathrm{S}_{\text {total }}$ and state if the process is spontaneous, when one mole of liquid mercury $\mathrm{Hg}(\mathrm{l})$ changes to mercury vapour, $\mathrm{Hg}(\mathrm{g})$ at 298 K . The molar entropy of vapourisation of Hg is $99 \mathrm{JK}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ and molar enthalpy of vapourisation is $59.1 \mathrm{k} \mathrm{J} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}$.
