Clausius-Clapeyron Equation

P2=P1e-ΔHvapR(1T2-1T1)
(P1)Pressure 1
(ΔHvap)Molar enthalpy of vaorization
(T1) Temperature 1
(T2) Temperature 2

The Clausius-Clapeyron Equation for Pressure calculator estimates the vapor pressure of a liquid at a certain temperature when the vapor pressure at another temperature is known. 

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

  • (P1) Vapor Pressure 1
  • (ΔHvap)  Molar Enthalpy of Vaporization
  • (T1)  Temperature 1 (corresponds with P1)
  • (T2) Temperature 2 

Pressure (P2): The calculator returns the vapor pressure at temperature T2 in atmospheres.  However, the pressure can be automatically converted to other pressure units (.e.g., pascals) via the pull-down menu. 

The Math

The Clausius-Clapeyron Equation is as follows:

     ln(P1P2)=-ΔHvapR(1T1 -1T2)  

where R is the ideal gas constant (8.314 J/mol*K)

This calculator solves the above equation for P2.  Therefore, the Clausius-Clapeyron equation for final pressure is:

     P2=P1eΔHvapR(1T1-1T2)

where:
