At 180°C the heat of vaporization, AvapH of a certain liquid is 14.4 kJ mol'1 . The molar volumes of the liquid and the vapour at the boiling point are 115 cm3 mol'1 and 14.5 dm3 mol' 1 , respectively. Estimate the change in the boiling point of the liquid at 180°C per bar change in atmospheric pressure, dT/dp using the Clayperon equation. Briefly discuss the physical significance of the sign of dT/dp .
