Temperature-dependency of the heats of vaporization for water, methanol, benzene, and acetone. In thermodynamics, the enthalpy of vaporization (symbol ∆H vap), also known as the (latent) heat of vaporization or heat of evaporation, is the amount of energy that must be added to a liquid substance to transform a quantity of that substance into a gas.
L is the latent heat of vaporization at the temperature T, T C is the critical temperature, L 0 is the parameter that is equal to the heat of vaporization at zero temperature (T → 0), tanh is the hyperbolic tangent function. This equation was obtained in 1955 by Yu. I. Shimansky, at first empirically, and later derived
Latent heat is energy released or absorbed by a body or a thermodynamic system during a constant-temperature process. Two common forms of latent heat are latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporization . These names describe the direction of energy flow when changing from one phase to the next: from solid to liquid, and liquid to gas.
Substituting into the Clapeyron equation =, we can obtain the Clausius–Clapeyron equation [8]: 509 = for low temperatures and pressures, [8]: 509 where is the specific latent heat of the substance. Instead of the specific, corresponding molar values (i.e. L {\displaystyle L} in kJ/mol and R = 8.31 J/(mol⋅K)) may also be used.
A formula to compute the ebullioscopic constant is: [2] = R is the ideal gas constant. M is the molar mass of the solvent. T b is boiling point of the pure solvent in kelvin. ΔH vap is the molar enthalpy of vaporization of the solvent.
It also allows us to determine the specific volume of a saturated vapor and liquid at that provided temperature. In the equation below, represents the specific latent heat, represents temperature, and represents the change in specific volume. [3]
In thermodynamics, Trouton's rule states that the (molar) entropy of vaporization is almost the same value, about 85–88 J/(K·mol), for various kinds of liquids at their boiling points. [1] The entropy of vaporization is defined as the ratio between the enthalpy of vaporization and the boiling temperature.
