(A)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Estimation of the triple point pressure and temperature.

Concept Introduction:

The Clausius-Clapeyron equation for vapor-liquid equilibrium to calculate the change in molar enthalpy from vaporization is,

ln(P2satP1sat)=ΔH_vapR(1T21T1)

Here, vapor pressure is Psat, change in molar enthalpy from vaporization is ΔH_vap, gas constant is R, and temperature is T.

The Clausius-Clapeyron equation for solid-vapor equilibrium to calculate the change in molar enthalpy from sublimation is,

ln(P2satP1sat)=ΔH_subR(1T21T1)

Here, change in molar enthalpy from sublimation is ΔH_sub.

The equation for saturated pressure in solid-vapor equilibrium is,

P2sat=P1satexp[ΔH_subR(1T21T1)]

The equation for saturated pressure in liquid-vapor equilibrium is,

P2sat=P1satexp[ΔH_vapR(1T21T1)]

(B)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Estimation of pressure at which solid-liquid equilibrium occurs at T=25°F.

Concept Introduction:

The Clapeyron equation to fit solid-liquid equilibrium is,

dPsatdT=ΔH_fusT(V_SV_L)

Here, change in vapor pressure is dPsat, change in temperature is dT, change in molar enthalpy from fusion is ΔH_fus, liquid molar volume is V_L and solid molar volume is V_S.

The expression to obtain the change in molar enthalpy from fusion (ΔH_fus) is,

ΔH_fus=ΔH_subΔH_vap

(C)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Estimation of the normal boiling point.

Concept Introduction:

The expression of the best normal boiling point is,

ln(P2satP1sat)=ΔH_vapR(1T21T1)
