vapor pressure of sulfur dioxide
« on: February 16, 2012, 05:23:51 PM »
The vapor pressure off sulfur dioxide is given by the equation:

log(P(torr)) = 8.3186 - 1425.7/T(K)

What is the normal boiling point of SO2 in K?

What does "normal" mean here?

I figured it out. Normal means that we assume 1 atmospheric pressure (in this case 760 torr). That gets rid of the two unknowns and therefore it is easy to solve for temperature.
