Benzene is a hydrocarbon that is commonly
used as a commercial solvent. However, it is
carcinogenic; i.e., accumulations in the body
can cause cancer. What is the vapor pressure
of benzene at 29◦C? The normal boiling point
of benzene is 80.0◦C and its molar heat of
vaporization is 30.8 kJ/mol.
Answer in units of torr.

Clausius-Clapeyron Equation will handle this, look it up. You are given vapor pressure at 80C (101.3kPa), the heat of vaporization, and the two temps. Solve for VP at 29C
