Normal boiling of water is 373 K (at 760 mm). Vapour pressure of water at 298 K is 23 mm. If the enthalpy of evaporation is 40.656 kJ/mole, the boiling point of water at 23 mm pressure will be

Answer»

250 K
294 K
51.6 K
12.5 K

Solution :Applying CLAUSIUS clapeytron equation
`log.(P_(2))/(P_(1))=(Delta H_(V))/(2.303R)[(T_(2)-T_(1))/(T_(1)xxT_(2))]`
`log.(760)/(23)=(40656)/(2.303xx8.314)[(373-T_(1))/(373T_(1))]`
This gives `T_(1)=294.4 K`.
