Homework Statement



The molar volume of ice at 273.15K and 101.33 kPa is V1=19.6 cm3
That of water V2=18.00 cm3.
Latent heat of melting of ice is L=6.0 kJ mol-1.

Find the pressure that must be applied to reduce the melting point by 1 K.

Homework Equations



Clausius-Clapeyron

\frac{dP}{dT} = \frac{L}{TΔV}

ΔV = (V2-V1)

The Attempt at a Solution



The problem I am having is fundamental, this is not the usual find vapour pressure question, which is what caught me off guard. So what I'm asking is a way to set this question up. This is where I've gotten so far.

\frac{dP}{dT} = \frac{L}{TΔV}

dP = \frac{L}{TΔV} dT

P = \frac{L log (T)}{ΔV}

L log (T) = PΔV

Log (T) = \frac{PΔV}{L}

T = exp [\frac{PΔV}{L}]

Do I subtract 1 from T and solve for P? It doesn't feel right. Or did I completely mess it up?
If so please show me the set up, I should be ok with the rest.

Thanks in advance
 
Physics news on Phys.org
dp = (L/Δv)dT/T

then how about computing the definite integral instead of the indefinite one?

Δp = ?
 
*Face Palm* Set limit from (T) to (T-1) I take it. Thanks

Right. And use the appropriate value of T of course.
 
Yup yup! Thanks! I feel a tad retarded for not seeing that.

Don't. It's always a bit rough the first time you run into a new topic ...
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
