asked 03/01/21Did I correctly find the temperature of the vapor pressure using Clausius-Clapeyron equation?
It has an enthalpy of vap of 41.098 kJ mol-1. If the vapor pressure is 78.90 mmHg at 43.21 celsius, at what temp is vapor pressure equal to 666.6mmhg?
I used Clausius-Clapeyron formula:
ln(78.90mmhg/666.6mmhg)=41.098x10-1kJ/0.008314kj/mol*K ((1/316.21K)-(1/t2)
and obtained: 133.6989 or 133.7K
is this correct?

Clausius Clapeyron Equation:
ln (P2/P1) = -Ea/R (1/T2 - 1/T1)
P1 = 78.90 mm Hg
P2 = 666.6 mm Hg
T1 = 316.2
T2 = ?
Ea = 41.098 kJ/mol
R = 0.008314 kJ/Kmol
ln(666.6/78.90) = - 41.098/0.008314 (1/T2 - 1/316.2)
2.13 = - 4943 (1/T2 - 0.00316)
2.13 = -4943/T2 + 15.63
13.50 = 4943/T2
T2 = 366K
