**Vapor Pressure and Temperature Calculation**

At 20.0°C, the vapor pressure of water is 17.5 torr. At what temperature will the vapor pressure of water be 118.0 torr? The ΔH_vap of water is 40.7 kJ/mol.

**Show Calculation:**

To solve this, you will use the Clausius-Clapeyron equation:

\[ \ln \left( \frac{P_2}{P_1} \right) = \frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{R} \left( \frac{1}{T_1} - \frac{1}{T_2} \right) \]

where:
- \(P_1\) and \(P_2\) are the initial and final pressures (17.5 torr and 118.0 torr respectively),
- ΔH_vap is the enthalpy of vaporization (40.7 kJ/mol),
- R is the universal gas constant (8.314 J/mol·K), and
- \(T_1\) and \(T_2\) are the initial (20.0°C) and final temperatures in Kelvin.
