Homework Statement
At constant atmospheric pressure, 20g of water at 30C is converted into steam at 250C. Assume the heat capacity of liquid water is constant at 4.2 J/gK and the heat of vaporization at 100C is 2260 J/g. The molar heat capacity of water vapor at constant pressure is given by
[itex]\frac{c_p}{R} = a + bT + CT^2[/itex]
where [itex] a= 3.634,{ } b= 1.195*10^{-3} K^{-1},{ } c=1.350*10^{-7} K^{-2}[/itex]
Find the entropy change of the water.
Homework Equations
[itex]\Delta S = \frac{dQ}{T}[/itex]
[itex] dQ = \int c_p dT[/itex]
The Attempt at a Solution
My first thought was just to plug in the given equation for C_p into (1) and integrating, but I'm not sure how the heat of vaporization comes into play.
