Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that- 

The latent heat of vapourization for n-heptane is calculated using the equation-

Hn=RTn1.092(lnPc-1.013)0.930-Tm

From the given data table-

R=8.314 J/mol.K

Tc=469.7 K

Pc =33.70 bar

Tn=309.2 K

Hence, reduced tempearture (Tm) at the normal boiling point is calulated as-

Tm=TnTc=309.2K469.7KTm=0.658
