Butane is a common fuel used in cigarette lighters and camping stoves. Normally supplied in metal containers under pressure, the fuel exists as a mixture of liquid and gas, so high temperatures may cause the container to explode. At 25.0
°
C, the vapor pressure of butane is 2.30 atm. What is the pressure in the container at 128.0
°
C? (

H
°
vap = 24.3 kJ/mol.)
The question can be solved using Clausius-Clapeyron equation:
ln(p2/p1) = (Hvap/R) x [(1/T1)- (1/T2)]
H vap = 24.3 kj/mol, R = 8.314 jk-1mol-1, T1 = 25 0C = 298 k, T2 = 128 0C = 401 k, p1 = 2.3 atm
Putting the above values in the equation we have
ln(p2/2.3) = (24.4 X 103/8.314) X [ (1/298) - (1/401) ]
p2 = 28.55 atm
Thus pressure of the container at 128 0C is 28.55 atm.
