Physical Chemistry Iman Fatima Rollno:750211 Numericals:: Problem #1

The document contains 5 chemistry problems solved using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation to calculate various properties related to vapor pressure and heat of vaporization. The first problem calculates the heat of vaporization of a liquid from its vapor pressure and normal boiling point. The second problem calculates the enthalpy of vaporization from vapor pressures at two temperatures. The third problem calculates vapor pressure at a given temperature using heat of vaporization and normal boiling point. The fourth problem calculates boiling point at a given pressure using heat of vaporization. The fifth problem calculates vapor pressure at a temperature below the normal boiling point.

NUMERICALS:
Problem #1: A certain liquid has a vapor pressure of 6.91 mmHg at 0 °C. If this liquid has a
normal boiling point of 105 °C, what is the liquid's heat of vaporization in kJ/mol?

Solution:
1) Let us use the Clausius-Clapeyron Equation:
ln (P1 / P2) = (ΔH / R) (1/T2 - 1/T1)
with the following values:
P1 = 6.91 mmHg T1 = 0 °C = 273.15 K
P2 = 760.0 mmHg T2 = 68.73 °C = 378.15 K
2) Set up equation with values:
ln (6.91/ 760) = (x / 8.31447) (1/378.15 minus 1/273.15)
-4.70035 = (x / 8.31447) (-0.0010165)
4.70035 = 0.00012226x (notice I got rid of the negative signs)
x = 38445 J/mol = 38.4 kJ/mol

Problem #2: Carbon tetrachloride has a vapor pressure of 213 torr at 40.0 °C and 836 torr at
80.0 °C. What s the enthalpy of vaporization in kJ/mol?

Solution:
1) Let us rearrange the Clausius-Clapeyron Equation:
ln (P1/P2) = (-ΔHvap/R) x (1/T1 - 1/T2)
ΔHvap = [-R x ln (P1/P2)] / (1/T1 - 1/T2)
2) Insert values and solve:
ΔHvap = [(-8.314 J/mole K) x ln (213 torr / 836 torr)] / (1/313.15 K - 1/353.15 K)
ΔHvap = 31.4 kJ/mole
Problem #3: What is the vapor pressure of benzene at 25.5 °C? The normal boiling point of
benzene is 80.1 °C and its molar heat of vaporization is 30.8 kJ/mol. Answer in units of atm

Solution:
1) Let us use the Clausius-Clapeyron Equation:
ln (x / 1.00) = (30800 / 8.31447) (1/353.25 minus 1/298.65)

2) Let us calculate:
ln (x / 1.00) = (3704.385) (-0.000517545)
ln x = -1.9172
x = 0.147 atm

Problem #4: The normal boiling point of Argon is 83.8 K and its latent heat of vaporization is
1.21 kJ/mol. Calculate its boiling point at 1.5 atmosphere.

Solution:
1) Let us use the Clausius-Clapeyron Equation:
ln (P1 / P2) = - (ΔH / R) (1/T1 - 1/T2)
with the following values:
P1 = 1.0 atm T1 = 83.8 K
P2 = 1.5 atm T2 = x
2) Set up equation with values:
ln (1.0/ 1.5) = - (1210 / 8.31447) (1/83.8 minus 1/x)
0.405465 = 145.53 (0.011933 minus 1/x)
0.405465 = 0.17366 minus 145.53 / x
0.231805 = -145.53 / x
Problem #5: The molar enthalpy of vaporization of hexane (C6H14) is 28.9 kJ/mol, and its
normal boiling point is 68.73 °C. What is the vapor pressure of hexane at 25.00 °C?

Solution:
1) Let us use the Clausius-Clapeyron Equation:
ln (P1 / P2) = - (ΔH / R) (1/T1 - 1/T2)
with the following values:
P1 = x T1 = 25.00 °C = 298.15 K
P2 = 760.0 mmHg T2 = 68.73 °C = 341.88 K
2) Set up equation with values:
ln (x / 760) = - (28900 / 8.31447) (1/298.15 minus 1/341.88)
ln (x / 760) = - 1.4912
x /760 = 0.2251
x = 171 torr
