We are asked to use Trouton’s rule to estimate the enthalpy of vaporization of chloroform.
Where:
ΔSvap = 85 J/mol-K
Calculate ΔHvap
Given:
ΔSvap = 85 J/mol-K
Tb = 61.2°C + 273.15 = 334.35 K
The boiling point of chloroform, CHCl 3, is 61.2°C. Use Trouton’s rule to estimate the enthalpy of vaporization of chloroform.
