Why is it important to convert temperature to Kelvin when using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation?

Vapor Pressure and Temperature

Different substances have different vapor pressures at the same temperature
The substance with the weakest intermolecular forces has the highest vapor pressure at a given temperature
The graph of vapor pressure versus temperature is exponential
The Clausius-Clapeyron equation allows for linearization of the vapor pressure curve:
- ln P_vap = -ΔH_vap/RT + C
- where R is the ideal gas constant and C is a constant
- ΔH_vap is the enthalpy of vaporization, T is temperature in Kelvin
- Using this equation, the vapor pressure can be predicted at temperatures below the normal boiling point.
Measuring vapor pressure as a function of temperature helps determine the enthalpy of vaporization (ΔH_vap), which reflects the energy required to overcome intermolecular forces in a liquid to convert it to a gas. This relates to molecular phenomena to bulk properties

Normal Boiling Point

The normal boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals 1 atm.
Different substances have different normal boiling points, influenced by the strength of intermolecular forces
The substance with the weakest intermolecular forces will have the lowest normal boiling point at a given pressure.

This quiz explores the relationship between vapor pressure and temperature, focusing on the impact of intermolecular forces on vapor pressure. It includes the Clausius-Clapeyron equation and its application in predicting vapor pressures at different temperatures. Understand how these concepts relate to enthalpy of vaporization and the behavior of substances in their gaseous and liquid states.
