Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The vapor pressure of benzene at 60.6∘C is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The relationship between vapor pressure and temperature is given by Clausius- Clapeyron equation as:
log(P1P2)=ΔHvapR(1T2−1T1)
Here, ΔHvap is the molar heat of vaporization, R is the gas constant, P1 & P2 are the vapour pressures, and T1&T2 are the temperatures.
To convert a temperature from degree Celsius to Kelvin, the expression is as follows:
K = oC+273
Here, K is the temperature in Kelvin, oC is the temperature in Celsius.
To convert heat from kilo joule per mole to joule per mole, the expression is as follows:
1 kJ/mol = 103 J/mol

Answer to Problem 32QP
Solution: 331 mm Hg
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The vapour pressure of benzene is P1, 40.1 mm Hg.
The temperatures of benzene are 7.6oC and 60.6oC .
The molar heat of vaporization, ΔHvap=31.0 kJ/mol
The gas constant, R=8.314 J/K.mol
Convert the temperature in Kelvin:
T1 = 7.6oC+273.15= 280.75 KT2 = 60.6oC+273.15= 333.75 K
Convert the heat in joule per mole as follows:
1 kJ/mol = 103 J/mol31.0 kJ/mol=31.0×103 J/mol=3.1×104 J/mol
Now, calculate P2 as follows:
log(P1P2)=ΔHvapR(1T2−1T1)
ln(40.1 mm HgP2)=3.1×104 J/mol8.314 J/K.mol(1333.75 K−1280.75 K)
ln(40.1 mm HgP2)=3.1×104 J/mol8.314 J/K.mol(1333.75 K−1280.75 K)=3728.65(280.75 K−333.75 K333.75 K×280.75 K)=−5393700.31×3728.65=−2.109
Take antilogarithm on both the sides as follows:
ln(40.1 mm HgP2)=−2.10940.1 mm HgP2=exp(−2.109)=0.1213
Rearrange the above expression to obtain the vapor pressure as follows:
P2=40.1 mm Hg0.1213=330.58 mm Hg=331 mm Hg
The vapour pressure of benzene at 60.6∘C is 331 mm Hg.
