Answer #1

We need to use the Clausius clapeyron equation, which describes the variation of boiling point with respect to temperature.

ln\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}} = \frac{-\Delta H_{vap}}{R}(\frac{1}{T_{2}}-\frac{1}{T_{1}})

T1 = 61 oC = 61 +273 = 334 K

T2 = 35 oC = 35 +273 = 308 K

P1 = 1 atm

R = 8.314 J/(mol.K)

delta Hvap = 29.6 kJ/mol = 29600 J/mol

Putting the values in the equation,

ln(P2) = (-29600/8.314) * ((1/308)-(1/334))

Solving for gives P2 = 0.407 atm
