Suppose that we use a heater to boil liquid nitrogen (N2 molecules). 4480 J of heat turns 20 g of liquid nitrogen into gas. Note that the latent heat is equal to the change in enthalpy, and that liquid nitrogen boils at 77 K. The system is kept at a constant pressure of 1 atm. Assuming that you can treat the gas as ideal gas and that the volume of the liquid is approximately zero, compute the binding energy of a nitrogen molecule in the liquid. (the binding energy is the difference in internal energy per molecule between the liquid and gas)
a. 4.2e^-18 J
b. 9.4e^-21 J
c. 4.8e^ 24 J
d. 2.1e^-19 J
e. 1.3e^-23 J
