Question: ( a ) Use the Clausius - Clapeyron equation and data for water at 1 atm and 1 0 0 C to develop an expression

(a) Use the Clausius-Clapeyron equation and data for water at 1 atm and 100C to develop an
expression for the saturation pressure of water as a function of temperature.
(b) Plot the saturation pressure as a function of temperature for temperatures from 0.01C to
100C.
(c) Include data for saturation pressure from the steam tables on your plot in part (b) and
comment on the adequacy of the Clausius-Clapeyron equation through the error in saturation
pressure.
(d) Repeat parts (b) and (c) for 100C to 200C.
(e) Repeat parts (a)-(c), but correct for the temperature dependence of hvap, using heat
capacity data from Appendix A.2.
( a ) Use the Clausius - Clapeyron equation and
