Answer

$−118.5\text{ kJ/kg}$ $-118.6\text{ kJ/kg}$

Work Step by Step

The saturation temperature at $300 \mathrm{~kPa}$ is $406.7 \mathrm{~K}$. Using the definition of Gibbs function and enthalpy and entropy data from Table A-5, $$ \begin{aligned} & g_f=h_f-T s_f=(561.43 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg})-(406.7 \mathrm{~K})(1.6717 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K})=-118.5 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \\ & g_g=h_g-T s_g=(2724.9 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg})-(406.7 \mathrm{~K})(6.9917 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K})=-118.6 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \end{aligned} $$ which are practically same. Therefore, the criterion for phase equilibrium is satisfied.
