A certain substance has a heat of vaporization of 56.91 kJ/mol. At what Kelvin temperature will the vapor pressure be 4.00 times higher than it was at 295 K?

Here is a good video on YouTube which is almost exactly this problem.....

ln (p2/p1) = - hvap/r (1/T2 - 1/T1)          r = gas constant = 8.314     hvap = 569100 j/mol  p2 is 4 x p1

ln(4) =  -  56910/8.314(1/T2 - 1/295)      solve for T2

1.386294 = - 56910/8.314 (1/T2 - 1/295)

T2 = 313.74 K    for a vapor pressure 4 times higher than at 295K

 

No guarantee about this answer....but I am reasonably sure it is correct !
