Hey, I have a question about the meaning of a variable in the Clausius-Clapeyron formula.
My textbook (Daniel v. Schroeder) says that the Clausius-Clapeyron formula is (for phase boundary between liquid and gas)
\frac{dP}{dT} = \frac{L}{T\left(V_{g} - V_{l} \right)}.
What is V_{l} or V_{g}? It's not volume. I looked on Wikipedia, they say that V_{g} - V_{l} is the difference in specific volume of gas and liquid.
Specific volume is defined as \nu = \rho^{-1}.
My question is, is V_{l} and V_{g} specific volumes for gas and liquid, or I mean is it correct?
I want to ask just to be sure.
Thank you in advance for responding,
