The normal boiling point of cyclohexane is 80.74 °C.
At 20.00 °C, the vapour pressure of cyclohexane is 0.1026 atm.
What is the vapour pressure of cyclohexane when the temperature is 33.00 °C?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The vapour pressure at the normal boiling point is known, by definition, to be 1 atm.
You therefore can write three different equations of the sort:
lnPvap = [(−∆H)/(RT)] + C
i.e. for each of the three pairs of P and T.
You can take the difference between the equations for the cases (PbTb) and (P1T1).
This could be used to solve for [(−∆H)/(R)].
Analogously you can take the difference between the equations for the cases (PbTb) and(P2T2).
Since both differances must give rise to the same value for [(−∆H)/(R)], you can equate them to write an equation which allows you to calculate P2 in terms of PbTbP1T1 and T2
