Ln(P2/P1) = (L/R).(1/T1 - 1/T2)

with P1 = 1 atm, P2 = 45.9 atm, R = 8.314 J/mol.K, T1 = 452.15 K, T2 = 695.15 K. This gave the latent heat L as 41.2 kJ/mol.K. 

Using this value, and calculating the vapour pressure at 120°C = 393.15 K 

ln(P2) = (41.2 x 10^3/8.314).(1/452.15 - 1/393.15) 

which gives the vapour pressure P2 as 0.1931 atm = 146.7 torr.

A flask contains methane, chlorine and carbon monoxide gases. the partial pressures of each are 0.215 atm, 0.066 atm, and 0.826

Answer;

The total pressure is 1.107 atm.

Explanation;

The total pressure is the sum of the pressures of the three gases in the flask

Pressure (total) = 0.215 atm + 0.066 atm + 0.826 atm = 1.107 atm

= 1.107 atm.
