###### FREE Expert Solution

We’re being asked to determine the normal boiling point of ammonia. We’re given the vapor pressure at different temperatures.

For this problem, we can use the Clausius-Clapeyron Equation:

$\overline{){\mathbf{ln}}\frac{{\mathbf{P}}_{\mathbf{2}}}{{\mathbf{P}}_{\mathbf{1}}}{\mathbf{=}}{\mathbf{-}}\frac{{\mathbf{\Delta H}}_{\mathbf{vap}}}{\mathbf{R}}\left[\frac{\mathbf{1}}{{\mathbf{T}}_{\mathbf{2}}}\mathbf{-}\frac{\mathbf{1}}{{\mathbf{T}}_{\mathbf{1}}}\right]}$

where:

P1 = vapor pressure at T1

P2 = vapor pressure at T2

ΔHvap = heat of vaporization (in J/mol)

R = gas constant (8.314 J/mol•K)

T1 and T2 = temperature (in K).
