Answer #1

the pressure we have to find is the vapor pressure at 450K.

Vapor Pressure of a liquid is defined as the equilibrium pressure exerted by vapor with the liquid at the given temperature.

Here we have n-hexane at 450K.

This can be estimated with the use of Antoine equation.

Psat is in torr or mmHg

T is in oC = 450-273.15=176.85oC

Antoine constants for n-hexane for given temperature.

A=7.01051

B=1246.33

C=232.988

Solving gives,

760mmHg = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

Thus our answer is 1242.75 kPa.

Hope this is clear for you.

feel free to ask if having any doubts.
