Problems on Clausius Clayperon Equation

1. Calculate the vapour pressure of water at 363 K if the

vapour pressure at 373 K is 101.3 kPa. The mean heat of
vaporization in this temperature range is 2275 kJ/kg.

2. Carbon tetrachloride boils at 349.75 K at 1 bar. Its latent
heat of vaporization is 194.8 kJ/kg. What would be the
boiling point at 2 bar?
3. Mercury has a density of 13.69 kg/m 3 in liquid state and
14.193 × 103 kg/m3 in the solid state, both measured at the
melting point of 234.33 K at 1 bar. If the heat of fusion of
Hg is 9.7876 kJ/kg, what is the melting point of mercury at
10 bar?
4. If the pressure inside a pressure cooker is 200 kPa, what is
the boiling point of water inside it? The normal boiling
point of water is 373 K and the latent heat of vaporisation
of water is 2257 kJ/kg at 373 K.
