Trouton's ratio is given by (where λb, = molal heat of vaporisation of a substance at its normal boiling point, kcal/kmol Tb = normal boiling point, °K) ___________________?

Correct answer: A. λb/Tb

  • A. λb/Tb
  • B. Tb/λb
  • C. √(λb/Tb)
  • D. √(Tb/λb)

Explanation

Trouton’s ratio is the molal latent heat of vaporisation divided by the absolute normal boiling temperature, λb/Tb. Its approximate value is about 21 kcal/(kmol·K) for many ordinary liquids.
