At the triple point,
Latent heat of sublimation = Latent heat of vaporization = Latent heat of fusion
Example 2.2
The vapour pressure of mercury at 399 K & 401 K is found 0.988 and 1.084
mm of mercury respectively. Calculate the latent heat of vaporization of liquid
at 400 K.
Solution:
Let P1 = vapourtor of mercury = 0.988mm at T1
P2 = vapourtor of mercury = 1.084mm at T2
Now,
Again
Applying clausius, clayperon equation for vaporization
