MCQ
The heat of vaporisation and heat of fusion of $H_2O$ are $540\, cal/g$ and $80 \,cal/g.$ The ratio of  $\frac{{{\Delta _S{vap}}}}{{{\Delta _S{fusion}}}}$ for water is :-
  • A
    $6.75$
  • B
    $9.23$
  • $4.94$
  • D
    $0.2$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$4.94$
c
$\Delta S_{v}=\frac{\Delta H_{v}}{B \cdot p t}=\frac{540}{373} ; \Delta S_{f}=\frac{\Delta H_{f}}{F \cdot p t}=\frac{80}{273}$

$\therefore \quad \frac{\Delta \mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{v}}}{\Delta \mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{f}}}=\frac{540}{373} \times \frac{273}{80}=4.94$
