The text file vap-data.txt
, contains data for the boiling points, \(T_\mathrm{b}\), and enthalpies of vaporization, \(\Delta_\mathrm{vap}H\), for some liquids:
Compound Tb /K DvapH /kJ.mol-1
CH3Cl 247 21.5
CH2CHCHCH2 268.6 22.47
C2H5OH 351.39 38.7
H2O 373.15 40.7
CH4 111.7 8.17
HCO2H 373.9 22.69
CH3OH 337.8 35.21
C8H18 398.7 34.41
C6H5CH3 383.8 33.18
Read in these data and calculate the entropy of vaporization, \(\Delta_\mathrm{vap}S\), for each substance. Comment on any deviation from Trouton's rule (that, for many liquids, \(\Delta_\mathrm{vap}S \approx 85 \;\mathrm{J\,K^{-1}\,mol^{-1}}\).) Write another text file with these data, including a column for the entropy of vaporization.
