Which of the following is Clausius-Clapeyron Equation for vaporisation of an ideal gas under the condition that the molar volume of liquid is negligible compared to that of the vapor ?

Correct answer: A. d ln p/dt = Hvap/RT2

  • A. d ln p/dt = Hvap/RT2
  • B. d ln p/dt = RT2/Hvap
  • C. dp/dt = RT2/Hvap
  • D. dp/dt = Hvap/RT2

Explanation

With liquid molar volume negligible and the vapour treated as ideal, the Clausius-Clapeyron equation becomes d ln p/dT = Hvap/(R T²). The other forms either invert the relation or incorrectly use dp instead of d ln p.
