Question

In breckenridge, colorado, the typical atmospheric pressure is 520. torr. what is the boiling point of water (hvap 40.7 kj/mol) in breckenridge?

Answer 1

362.51 Kelvin ln (p1/p2) =( dH / R) (1/T2 - 1/T1) ln (760 Torr /520Torr) =( 40,700 Joules / 8.314 J molâ’1K-1)(1/T2 - 1/373K) ln (1.4615) =( 4895.35)(1/T2 - 0.002681) 0.37946 = 4895.35/T2 - (0.002681)(4895.35) 0.37946 = 4895.35/T2 - (13.124) 0.37946 + 13.124 = 4895.35/T2 13.5039 = 4895.35/T2 T2 = 4895.35 / 13.5039 T2 = 362.51 answer is 362.51 Kelvin - 273 answer is also 89.5 Celsius
