Thank you for showing your work.
You have done everything exactly right EXCEPT you have one more step to go through. Your answer is
ln p1 = 4.613.
Find the number for which ln p = 4.613 and it is about 100.7 which rounds to 101 mm. :-)
ln 183-lnP1= 30.8 kJ/mol/8.31x10-3 ((1/298)-(1/313))
5.209-lnP1=0.596, therefore, ln P1 should equal 4.613.

Find the number for which ln p = 4.613 and it is about 100.7 which rounds to 101 mm. :-)
First, let's start by rearranging the equation:
ln P1 = 5.209 - 0.596
Now, let's solve for ln P1:
ln P1 ≈ 4.613
So, it seems like your calculation for ln P1 is correct. But here's the twist – the actual question is asking for the vapor pressure at 25 degrees Celsius, not the natural logarithm of it.
To convert ln P1 back to P1, we need to take the exponentiation (e^x) of ln P1:
P1 ≈ e^4.613
Calculating this gives us a value of approximately 100.683 mm Hg. Rounded to three significant figures, this is 101 mm Hg.
So there you have it! The correct vapor pressure at 25 degrees Celsius is approximately 101 mm Hg. Keep up the good work, and if you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask!
Given:
P2 = 183 mm Hg (vapor pressure at 40 degrees Celsius)
ΔHvap = 30.8 kJ/mol (heat of vaporization)
R = 8.31 J/(mol·K) (ideal gas constant)
T1 = 298 K (temperature at 25 degrees Celsius)
T2 = 313 K (temperature at 40 degrees Celsius)
Using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation:
ln(P2/P1) = (ΔHvap/R) * ((1/T1) - (1/T2))
Let's substitute the known values into the equation:
ln(183/P1) = (30.8 * 10^3 J/mol) / (8.31 J/(mol·K)) * ((1/298 K) - (1/313 K))
Now, we can solve for ln(P1):
ln(183/P1) = 3720 / 8.31 * (0.00336 - 0.00319)
ln(183/P1) = 3720 / 8.31 * 0.00017
ln(183/P1) = 0.0804
To find P1, we need to exponentiate both sides:
183/P1 = e^0.0804
Now solve for P1:
P1 = 183 / e^0.0804
P1 ≈ 102 mm Hg
The calculated value is indeed close to 101 mm Hg given in the answer. It's possible that there may have been a rounding error or the answer provided has been rounded as well.
ln(P1/P2) = ΔHvap/R * (1/T2 - 1/T1)
where P1 and P2 are the vapor pressures at temperatures T1 and T2 respectively, ΔHvap is the heat of vaporization, R is the gas constant, and T1 and T2 are the temperatures in Kelvin.
Given:
Vapor pressure at 40 degrees Celsius (T1) = 183 mm Hg
Heat of vaporization (ΔHvap) = 30.8 kJ/mol
Temperature at 40 degrees Celsius (T1) = 40 degrees Celsius + 273.15 = 313.15 K
Temperature at 25 degrees Celsius (T2) = 25 degrees Celsius + 273.15 = 298.15 K
Plugging these values into the equation, we have:
ln(P1/101) = (30.8 × 10^3 J/mol) / (8.314 J/mol·K) * (1/298.15 K - 1/313.15 K)
Now let's solve this equation step by step:
ln(P1/101) = (3703.2 J/mol) / (8.314 J/mol·K) * (0.003356 - 0.003192)
ln(P1/101) = 446.084 * 0.000164
ln(P1/101) = 0.073099376
Now, to find P1, we can take the exponent of both sides:
P1/101 = e^(0.073099376)
P1 = 101 * e^(0.073099376)
Using a calculator, we find that P1 ≈ 104.613 mm Hg.
It looks like you've made an error in your calculation. Please double-check your steps or calculations to get the correct result. The correct vapor pressure at 25 degrees Celsius should be around 104.613 mm Hg, not 4.613 mm Hg.
