Question

Predict the boiling point of water at a pressure of 1.5 atm.

Answer 1

Answer:

100.8 °C

Explanation:

The Clausius-clapeyron equation is:

$ln\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2}} =$-Δ$\frac{H_{vap}}{r} (\frac{1}{T_{2}}-\frac{1}{T_{1}} )$

Where 'ΔHvap' is the enthalpy of vaporization; 'R' is the molar gas constant (8.314 j/mol); 'T1' is the temperature at the pressure 'P1' and 'T2' is the temperature at the pressure 'P2'

Isolating for T2 gives:

$T_{2}=(\frac{1}{T_{1}} -\frac{Rln\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} }{Delta H_{vap}}$

(sorry for 'deltaHvap' I can not input symbols into equations)

thus T2=100.8 °C
