All liquids evaporate to a certain extent. The pressure exerted by the gas phase in equilibrium with the liquid is called vapor pressure, Pvap. The vapor pressure of a particular substance is determined by the strength of the intermolecular forces. But for any given substance, the vapor pressure only changes with temperature. The Clausius-Clapeyron equation expresses the relationship between vapor pressure and temperature: AHvap In P₂ = In P₁ + (H) (#) R where P2 and P₁ are the vapor pressures that correspond to temperatures T2 and T₁, respectively, A Hvap is the molar heat of vaporization, and R= 8.3145 J/(mol. K) is the gas constant. The vapor pressure of dichloromethane, CH₂Cl2, at 0 °C is 134 mmHg. The normal boiling point of dichloromethane is 40. C. Calculate its molar heat of vaporization. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
