Problems about Clausius Clapeyron equation

Problem 1
The vapor pressure of a substance is 21 torr at 200 K. Calculate the vapor pressure at 310 K
if the enthalpy of vaporization is 24 [Link]-1.

Hint: ∆H = 24 x 103 [Link]-1, P1 = 21 torr, T1 = 300 K and T2 = 310 K. Find P2?


Solution 1
-∆Hvap/R(1/T2 - 1/T1)
P2 = P1 e
-24000 [Link]-1/8.314 J.K-1. mol-1(1/310 K - 1/300 K)
P2 = 21 torr x e

P2 = 28.6 torr

Problem 2
The vapor pressure of a substance is 30 torr at 250 K. At what temperature will the
substance have a vapor pressure of 150 torr? The enthalpy of vaporization is 45 [Link]-1?
Hint: ∆H = 45 x 103 [Link]-1, P1 = 30 torr, P2 = 150 torr T1 = 250 K and Find T2?

Solution 2

T2 = [ 1/T1 – R ln (p2/p1)/∆Hvap]-1
T2 = [1/250 K – 8.314 J.mol_1.K-1 ln (150 torr/30 torr)/ 45 x 103 J/mol-1]-1
T2 = [4 x 10-3 – 2.9737 x 10-3]-1
T2 = [3.7026 x 10-3 K-1]-1
T2 = 270.1 K
Problem 3
A liquid has v. p. of 2.02 x 103 N.m-2 at 293 K and heat of vaporization 41 [Link]-1. The boiling
point of liquid (in kelvin) is?

Hint: ∆H = 41 x 103 [Link]-1, P2 = 2.02 x 103, T2 = 293 K and P1 = 1.01 x 105

Solution 2
log p2/p1 = ∆Hvap/R (1/T1 - 1/T2)

Problems about Clausius Clapeyron equation
log (2.02 x 103)/(1.01 x 105) = 41 x 103/2.303 x 8.314 x (1/T1 - 1/293)

-1.699 = 2.143 x 103 (1/T1 - 1/293)

-1.699/2.143 x 103 = 1/T1 - 1/293

-7.93 x 10-4 = 1/T1 - 1/293

1/T1 = 2.62 x 10-3

T1 = 381.7 K
