Unknown gas a vapor pressure of 52.3mmHg at 380K and 22.1mmHg at 328K on a planet where atmospheric pressure is 50% of Earths. What is the boiling point of unknown gas?

1 Answer
The boiling point is 598 K
Explanation:
Given : Planet’s atmospheric pressure = 380 mmHg
Clausius- Clapeyron Equation
R = Ideal Gas Constant
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Solve for L:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We know that a substance boils when it’s vapor pressure is greater than or equal to atmospheric pressure thus, we need to solve for the temperature at which the vapor pressure is greater than or equal to 380mmHg:
Solve for T:
Thus the boiling point is
