Chapter 11, Problem 11.4P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given question stated that the vapor pressure of carbon tetrachloride is measured as a function of temperature and the results are shown in table. The heat of vaporization of carbon tetrachloride is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: The formula to calculate heat of vaporization is,

$\ln \frac{{\text{P}}_2}{{\text{P}}_1}=-\frac{\Delta {\text{H}}_{\text{vap}}}{\text{R}}\left(\frac{1}{{\text{T}}_{\text{2}}}-\frac{1}{{\text{T}}_1}\right)$
