The heat of vaporization of a compound at 300. K is 27.7 kJ/mol and its vapor pressure is 540.5 torr. Determine the following thermodynamic properties of the vaporization at 300K: delta G degree = delta S degree = J/mol-K Assume that delta H degree and delta S degree are temperature independent and estimate the normal boiling point of the compound to the nearest degree Celcius.t = degree C

Explanation / Answer

delta S = (Heat of Vaporization)/Temperature = 27.7*1000/300 = 92.33 J/mol-K

The Clausius Clayperon Equation


Ln(P_2/P_1) = -(Delta_H/R) (1/T_2 - 1/T_1)

P_2 = 540.5 torr

540.5 torr = 760 torr

T_2 = 300K

Delta_H = 27.7*1000 J

R= 8.314 J/mol K

ln(540.5/760) = -(27700/8.314)((1/300)-(1/T_1))

solving T_1 = 309.498 K = 36.498 degree Celsius is the boiling point.
