SUMMARY
The Clausius-Clapeyron equation is represented as lnP = A - C/T, where A and C are constants that vary based on the material and specific conditions such as temperature and pressure. For water, steam tables provide the necessary values for A and C, allowing for interpolation of pressure data at specific temperatures. This equation demonstrates a linear relationship between lnP and 1/T, which can be utilized for accurate predictions within defined temperature ranges.
