We use the Clausius-Clapeyron equation,
ln(p2/p1) = ΔvapH/R x (1/T1−1/T2)
where,
p1 and p2 are the vapour pressures at temperatures T1 and T2
ΔvapH = the enthalpy of vaporization of the liquid
R = the Universal Gas Constant
now at Normal Boiling point, P = 1atm
ln(1 atm / 0.258 atm) = 28800J/mol / 8.3145 J/molK x (1/271K - 1/T2)
Solving for T2, we get
T2 = 303.13K
Converting Kelvin to Celsius,
0°C + 273= 273K
303.13K - 273K= 30.13°C
The normal boiling point of SiCl3H is 30.13°C
