Explanation / Answer

at the melting point, the solid and liquid will be at equilibrium and hence

deltaG= gibbs free energy change= deltaH-T*deltaS= 0

or T= boiling temperature= deltaH/deltaS= 24.32Kj/mole*1000J/Kj/ 83.93 J/mol.K=289K= 289-273 deg.c= 116 deg.c

2. enthalpy of vaporization of ethanol= enthalpy of vapor -enthalpy of liquid = 277.1--235.1=42.6 Kj/mole

entropy change of vaporization of ethanol similarly = 282.6-160.6= 122 J/kmole

boiling point = deltaH/deltaS= 42.6*1000/122 K=349K= 349-273= 76 deg.c
