Vapor Pressures of a solid and liquid ammonia near the triple point are given by: log P solid/ torr=10.00-1630 K/T log P liquid / torr=8.46-1330 K/T Calculate the ratio of the slopes of the sublimation and vapor pressure curves at the triple point.
using Clausius-clapeyron equation , ln P/solid=ln A+ -Hfus/R(1/T) (for solid)
or, 2.303 log P/solid=ln A+ -Hfus/R(1/T)
or,log P/solid=1/2.303 ln A+ -Hfus/2.303 R(1/T)
So ,from log P solid/ torr=10.00-1630 K/T
slope*2.303 R=-Hfus=1630*2.303 R
Also,log P/liquid=1/2.303 ln A+ -Hvap/2.303 R(1/T) (for liquid)
log P liquid / torr=8.46-1330 K/T
slope*2.303R=-Hvap=1330*2.303 R
Hsublimation=Hfus+Hvap=1330*2.303 R+1630*2.303R=2960*2.303R
log P/sub =1/2.303 log A-Hsublimation/2.303 R(1/T)
or,log P/sub =1/2.303 log A-2960/ R(1/T)
ratio of slope of sub to vapour pressure of solid=2960/1630=1.816
ratio of slope of sub to vapour pressure of liquid=2960/1330=2.225
