Compressions are regions of high pressure due to particles being close together
rarefactions are regions of low pressure due to particles being spread further apart
Longitudinal waves are often demonstrated by pushing and pulling a stretched slinky spring
Here we apply the Clausius-Clapeyron equation:
ln(P₁/P₂) = ΔH/R x (1/T₂ - 1/T₁)
The normal vapor pressure is 4.24 kPa (P₁)
The boiling point at this pressure is 293 K (P₂)
The heat of vaporization is 39.9 kJ/mol (ΔH)
We need to find the vapor pressure (P₂) at the given temperature 355.3 K (T₂)
ln(4.24/P₂) = 39.9/0.008314 x (1/355.3 - 1/293)
P₂ = 101.2 kPa
