A certain substance has a heat of vaporization of 62.41 kJ/mol. At what Kelvin temperature will the vapor pressure be 5.00 times higher than it was at 317 K?
This problem is solved using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation. In order to solve it, please follow the next steps:
Step 1. Get to know your equation.
Step 2. Prepare your data.
= 62.41 kJ/mol = 62410 J/mol
R = 8.314 J/(mol K)
T1 = 317 K
T2 = ?
P1 = P1
P2 = 5 P1
Step 3. Re arrange the equation
Step 4. Solve for T2
