Normal boiling point of water is `373 K`. Vapour pressure of water at `298 K` is `23 mm` enthalpy of vaporisation is `40.656 kJ mol^(-1)` if atmopheric pressure becomes `23 mm`, the water will boil at:A. `250K`B. `294K`C. `51.6`D. `12.5K`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Applying Clausis-Clapeyron equation
`"log"(P_(2))/(P_(1))=(DeltaH_(V))/(2.303R)[(T_(2)-T_(1))/(T_(1)xxT_(2))]`
`"log"(760)/(23)=(40656)/(2.303xx8.314)[(373-T_(1))/(373T)]`
This given `T_(1)=294.4K`
