I sorta thought that the point of this experiment is to make a curve of pressure as a function of temperature

only to

to determine its heat of vaporization

your own words :)

Is :delta: Hvap the slope value, -4044? Ie, can I substitute :delta: Hvap with -4044?

Twice wrong, but you are very close. Just look at the equation again.

Haha... umm, crap. Ok, we'll what about -4044 / 8.314 as the slope... ie, -486.4?

That would be the correct approach - that is, assuming you fitted data correctly.

So could you verify if I'm on the right track still? Using the following equation:

ln P = -  ( delta Hvap / R) T + C

Then I can fill in what I know...

ln P = - (-4044 / 8.314) T + 16.13
ln P = 486.4 T + 16.13

Would this basically be the equation used for solving for pressure or temperature?

Ok, so let me ask this then. If the boiling point for fluids is 760 mmHg, then I could plug in 760 mmHg for ln P in this equation and get the boiling point? (I'd check on my calculator but I haven't one since I'm sneaking on at work)... that sound right?

That's how it is supposed to work (assuming you do it right).

Gotcha. Thanks. You're right, I was making that hard. I just really didn't understand what value my slope value was supposed to replace, if that makes sense. Thanks for your help and patience!
