serz01s ‘chemtean ifsGasLaClass-Clapeyron Eqn Him The Clausius-Clapeyron Equation Return to KMT & Gas Laws Menu I plan to use slighty different formulations of the Clausius-Clapeyron Equation in the first several questions, Look to see how they are different, Why do I do this? As you encounter different presentations, you will probably see whatever form of the equation the instructor (or the textbook writer) learned. There is a decent chance that it will be different from the form you learned. I would like for you to see that they are the same equation. As Ludwig Wittgenstein said: Understanding means seeing that the same thing said different ways is the same thing, Some brief notes on the units: 1) The natural log term on the left-hand side is unitless. It does not matter what units of pressure you use; the only restriction is that P; and P must be expressed using the same pressure unit, 2) The unit on the temperature term will be K7!. The unit on R is J mol! K™! 3) The K™! in the temperature term will cancel with the K™! associated with R. 4) This means that the unit on AH must be J/mol. This then makes the right-hand side unitless. Below, I plan to just solve a few problems.

This is because, by definition, the vapor pressure of a substance at its normal boiling point is 760 mmHg, Not indicating the above in this type of question is common. You have been wamed!

The author of the above problem (not the ChemTeam!) obviously used the fourth of the four listed values. Interestingly, Wikipedia uses the 31.4 value Problem #8: A 5.00 L flask contains 3.00 g of mercury. The system is at room temperature of 25.0 °C. By how many degrees should we increase the temperature of the flask to triple the mercury vapor pressure. The enthalpy of vaporization for mercury is 59.11 ki/mol?

I just care that it triples in value from P| to P. Wy can I do this? Because I will be using a ratio of P to Py. I only care that that ratio is 3. 3) Set up equation with values In (3/1) = (59110 / 8.31447) (1/298 minus 1/x) 1,0968 = 7109,2926 (1/298 minus 1/%) 1,0968 = 23.8567 minus 7109,2926/x) x=3124K=39.4°C Clicking this link will take you to a NIST paper that has a table of calculated mercury vapor pressures.

Also, notice the kinda, sorta vapor pressure assumption, I assumed that only some of the 3.00 g of Hg evaporated at 25 °C. That's a fair assumption, I would think.
