What change in the boiling point of water is brought about by an increase of 0.01 bar in atmospheric pressure? Answer in Kelvin.
Here Atmospheric pressure P1=1 atm, T1=373K (standard boiling point of water)
P2=1+0.01/1.01325 =1.0098atm, T2=? (1atm=1.01325bar)
Using clausius claperon equation
log (P2 /P1)=(/2.303R)*(1/T1-1/T2)
Here =latent heat of vapourisation of water. =40.65kJ/mol=40650J/mol
R, universal gas constant= 8.314J/mol/K
On substituting these values, we get
log (1.0098/1)=(40650/2.303*8.314)(1/373-1/T2)
On solving we get T2=373.3K
Change in boiling point=373.3-373=0.3K
