Question
The molar heats of formation of liquid and gas phase water are given by:

\[ \textbf{H}_2 (g) + \frac{1}{2} \textbf{O}_2 (g) \rightarrow \textbf{H}_2\textbf{O} (\ell) \quad \Delta H_f = -285.8 \, \frac{\text{kJ}}{\text{mol}} \]

\[ \textbf{H}_2 (g) + \frac{1}{2} \textbf{O}_2 (g) \rightarrow \textbf{H}_2\textbf{O} (g) \quad \Delta H_f = -241.8 \, \frac{\text{kJ}}{\text{mol}} \]

Use these equations and values of \( \Delta H_f \) to determine the amount of heat transferred in the process of evaporating 1 mole of liquid water under constant pressure.

\[ \textbf{H}_2\textbf{O} (\ell) \rightarrow \textbf{H}_2\textbf{O} (g) \quad \Delta H_f = ? \]

Step 1: Hess law

The enthalpy change is a state function and the Hess law states that the change of enthalpy in a chemical reaction is independent of the pathway between the initial and final states.

According to this law, the total enthalpy change during a complete chemical reaction is the same whether the reaction is made in one step or in several steps.
