Concept introduction:
The Clausius-Clapeyron equation can be obtained from the rearrangement and integration of Clapeyron equation. The Clausius-Clapeyron equation is generally used for gas-phase equilibria, to predict the equilibrium temperatures and pressures and also for the determination of enthalpy for phase transition.

Figure 2
From the plot, the common observation is that for the given substances the increase in vapor pressure is slow until the normal boiling point. After the normal boiling point, the increase in vapor pressure is exponential. As the temperature increases from lower normal boiling point to higher values, the exponent value changes from negative to positive.
From the plot, the common observation is that for the given substances, the increase in vapor pressure is slow until the normal boiling point.
