The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the conversion of one mole of water to vapor at its boiling point (100°C) and 1 atmospheric pressure, we need to analyze the thermodynamic properties involved in this phase change. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Process**: - The process described is the phase transition of water from liquid to vapor (steam) at its boiling point. This occurs at 100°C under 1 atm pressure. 2. **Phase Change at Equilibrium**: - At the boiling point, water is in equilibrium between its liquid and vapor phases. This means that the rate of evaporation equals the rate of condensation. 3. **Thermodynamic Properties**: - For any phase transition that occurs at constant temperature and pressure, the change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG) is zero at equilibrium. This is because the system is at a stable state where the forward and reverse processes occur at the same rate. 4. **Identifying the Correct Statement**: - The options provided are: - A) ΔS = 0 - B) ΔG = 0 - C) ΔH = 0 - D) ΔE = 0 - Since we established that the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) is zero for the phase transition at equilibrium, the correct statement is: - **B) ΔG = 0** ### Final Answer: The correct statement is **B) ΔG = 0**.
