A particle<span> is a minute fragment or quantity of matter. In the physical sciences, a </span>particle<span> is a small localized object to which can be ascribed several physical or a</span> chemical<span> properties such as volume or mass.</span>
When a substance is changing state, its temperature remains constant. This is because energy is used to increase/decrease kinetic energy of the molecules of the substance, increasing/decreasing the inter-molecular distance and overcoming the energy bonds present between the molecules. Therefore, no energy is used to raise the temperature of the substance and therefore it remains constant
Answer:
C. 26.4 kJ/mol
Explanation:
The Chen's rule for the calculation of heat of vaporization is shown below:
![\Delta H_v=RT_b\left [ \frac{3.974\left ( \frac{T_b}{T_c} \right )-3.958+1.555lnP_c}{1.07-\left ( \frac{T_b}{T_c} \right )} \right ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20H_v%3DRT_b%5Cleft%20%5B%20%5Cfrac%7B3.974%5Cleft%20%28%20%5Cfrac%7BT_b%7D%7BT_c%7D%20%5Cright%20%29-3.958%2B1.555lnP_c%7D%7B1.07-%5Cleft%20%28%20%5Cfrac%7BT_b%7D%7BT_c%7D%20%5Cright%20%29%7D%20%5Cright%20%5D)
Where,
is the Heat of vaoprization (J/mol)
is the normal boiling point of the gas (K)
is the Critical temperature of the gas (K)
is the Critical pressure of the gas (bar)
R is the gas constant (8.314 J/Kmol)
For diethyl ether:



Applying the above equation to find heat of vaporization as:
![\Delta H_v=8.314\times307.4 \left [ \frac{3.974\left ( \frac{307.4}{466.7} \right )-3.958+1.555ln36.4}{1.07-\left ( \frac{307.4}{466.7} \right )} \right ]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20H_v%3D8.314%5Ctimes307.4%20%5Cleft%20%5B%20%5Cfrac%7B3.974%5Cleft%20%28%20%5Cfrac%7B307.4%7D%7B466.7%7D%20%5Cright%20%29-3.958%2B1.555ln36.4%7D%7B1.07-%5Cleft%20%28%20%5Cfrac%7B307.4%7D%7B466.7%7D%20%5Cright%20%29%7D%20%5Cright%20%5D)

The conversion of J into kJ is shown below:
1 J = 10⁻³ kJ
Thus,

<u>Option C is correct</u>
