Chapter 6, Problem 6.22E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The validation of the given statement regarding Clapeyron equation is to be stated with an explanation.

Concept introduction:

The Clapeyron equation is expressed as,

$\frac{dp}{dT}=\frac{\Delta \overline{H}}{T\Delta \overline{V}}$

It relates the pressure and temperature changes for all phase equilibria in terms of the changes in molar volume and entropies of the phases involved. It can be applied on any phase equilibrium. It can also written as,

$\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta T}\approx \frac{\Delta \overline{S}}{\Delta \overline{V}}$
