Question

The standard enthalpy of vaporization (vap) of diethylether ((CH3CH2)2O) is 29.1 kJ/mol.
The normal boiling point of diethylether is 34.5°C.
Calculate the vapour pressure of diethylether at 19.0°C.

(Units of pressure can be atm, torr, mmHg, Pa, kPa, bar, etc. -- units are always case sensitive)
Expert Solution
Step 1

This question asks us to find the vapour pressure of diethyl ether at T=19°C when we have the data about the normal boiling point and the standard enthalpy of vaporization of diethylether.

Any liquid has a vapour pressure of 1atm when it is present at its normal boiling point.

We will use Clausius Clapeyron equation for solving the problem.
