Question:
The following data give the vapor pressure of water at various temperatures. Transform the data, using ln (P) for the dependent variable and 1/T for the independent variable. Carry out the linear least-squares fit by hand, calculating the four sums. Find the molar enthalpy change of vaporization.
Temperature (◦C) Vapor pressure (Torr)
