Benzene is a liquid under standard conditions.The standard enthalpy and entropy changes for the evaporation of liquid benzene to form benzene vapor are +33.9 kJ/mol and 96.3 J/mol . K, respectively.If liquid benzene is placed in a closed container at 78.85 $\degree$C, which of the following statements is true?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Given the enthalpy and entropy changes for the evaporation of benzene, we can infer that the process is endothermic and that entropy increases, as expected for evaporation. At 78.85°C, which is close to benzene's boiling point under standard pressure (1 bar), benzene will evaporate until equilibrium is reached between its liquid and vapor phases in a closed container. This equilibrium is characterized by a specific vapor pressure at a given temperature, not by the complete evaporation of the liquid or the prevention of evaporation.
