Textbook Question
Textbook QuestionTrouton's rule states that for many liquids at their normal boiling points, the standard molar entropy of vaporization is about 88 J>mol@K. (a) Estimate the normal boiling point of bromine, Br2, by determining ΔH°vap for Br2 using data from Appendix C. Assume that ΔH°vap remains constant with temperature and that Trouton's rule holds. (b) Look up the normal boiling point of Br2 in a chemistry handbook or at the WebElements website (www.webelements.com) and compare it to your calculation. What are the possible sources of error, or incorrect assumptions, in the calculation?
