Chapter 12, Problem 136SAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Boiling point of acetone under a pressure of $50\text{ mmHg}$ needs to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Clausius Clapeyron equation is shown as follows:

$\ln \frac{P_2}{P_1}=\frac{-{\Delta }_{vap}H}{R}\left(\frac{1}{T_2}-\frac{1}{T_1}\right)$

Here, P is pressure, R is Universal gas constant, T is temperature and ${\Delta }_{vap}H$ is enthalpy of vaporization.
