Please help me answer this question. It is a physical chemistry question that is due in a few hours, so I need the help of a physical chemistry expert. I really need help with these questions for my hw grades. Any help would be appreciated.
Explanation / Answer
Recall that in equilibrium; especially in vapor-liquid equilibriums, we can use Clasius Clapyeron combination equation in order to relate two points in the same equilibrium line.
The equation is given as:
ln(P2/P1) = -dHvap/R*(1/T2-1/T1)
Where
P2,P1 = vapor pressure at point 1 and 2
dH = Enthalpy of vaporization, typically reported in kJ/mol, but we need to use J/mol
R = 8.314 J/mol K
T1,T2 = Saturation temperature at point 1 and 2
Therefore, we need at least 4 variables in order to solve this.
Substitute all known data:
ln(P2/P1) = -dHvap/R*(1/T2-1/T1)
then
from your data
slope = -Hvap/R
slope = -2417.82
Hvap= - R*-2417.82
Hvap = 8.314*2417.82
Hvap = 20101.75J/mol
HVap = 20.1 kJ/mol
Hvap is considered constant,. then Hvap(298) = Hvap(373.15)
