Chapter 8, Problem 8.11NP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation : The temperature and pressure of the triple point and enthalpies of fusion, vaporization and sublimation of hexane should be estimated.

Concept Introduction :

The Clausius-Clapeyron equation is represented as follows:

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

Here,

  $\begin{array}{l}P\text{ - pressure}\\ \Delta H\text{ - enthalpy change}\\ R\text{ - universal gas constant}\\ T\text{ - temperature}\end{array}$
