  1. Dichloromethane, CH2Cl2 (2 chlorines), is an organic solvent used for removing caffeine from coffee beans. The following table gives the vapor pressure of dichloromethane at various temperatures.

Temperature (°C) / Vapor Pressure (torr)
-10.0 / 80.1
0.0 / 133.6
10.0 / 213.3
20.0 / 329.6
30.0 / 495.4
40.0 / 724.4

Using the data above, generate the following two graphs (hint: watch the units on T!):

  1. Pvap vs. T
  2. ln Pvap vs. 1/T

Using the plots you made, answer the following questions:

(a)Choose any two temperatures and corresponding pressures in the table to calculate Hvap.

(b)Find the value (in kJ/mole) for Hvap for dichlormethane using only the plots or the equation of the line from the plots.

(c)How does the value you found from the graphs compare to the value from the data in the table?
