What is the equation governing the variation of Vapour Pressure with Temperature?

Expert Answer

The Clausius-Clapeyron Equation: ln(P2P1)=ΔHvapR(1T11T2)\ln \left( \frac{P_2}{P_1} \right) = \frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{R} \left( \frac{1}{T_1} - \frac{1}{T_2} \right) Where P1,P2P_1, P_2 are vapour pressures at temperatures T1,T2T_1, T_2 (in Kelvin), and ΔHvap\Delta H_{vap} is the Enthalpy of Vaporization.
