Clausius Clapeyron equation is used to determine the vapor pressure of a liquid when its boiling point and enthalpy of vaporization are known. It is written as
ln(P1/P2)= delta Hvap./R (1/T2 — 1/T1) where
P2 = unknown vapor pressure
P1 = vapor pressure at b.p. which is 1 atm because liq. boils when it’s vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure which is 1
Delta Hvap = 24.9kj/mole or 29000j/mole
R. = 8.314j/Kmole
T2 = 25+273=298K
T1 =42.6+273= 315.6K. Change temp into Kelvin
Sustitute values
ln(1/P2)= 24900/8.314 (1/298 —1/315.6)
1/P2 = e^.5600
P2. = 0.57atm. Change to torr
= .57×760 = 434 torr
