Interpretation: The vapor pressure of benzene droplets of radius
Concept Introduction: All substances can mainly exist in three phases; solid, liquid and gases. These three phases can convert into each other by the application of temperature and pressure such as by heating of solid, it converts to liquid and then gaseous
The enthalpy change during the fusion of solid to liquid is called as enthalpy of fusion that is denoted as
Clausius - Clapeyron equation purposed the relationship between the pressure and temperature for conditions of equilibrium between two phases; vapor and solid for sublimation or solid and liquid for fusion.
Here, P is pressure, T is temperature, R is Universal gas constant and
