Hello, could you please help me with this question?I would really appreciate if you give small explanation for your answer for me to learn.

(a) Calculate the vapor pressure (VP aka Pi,L or Pi,s) of p-n-butylphenol at 25C and 1 bar based on the assumptions below using only molecular weight (150.22 g/mol), melting point (22 C), and boiling point (248 C) of the compound. State all assumptions to each of the approaches below, show all work, and summarize results in a table format. (i) Trouton's rule (use 86.6 J/mol K so we are all consistent) (ii) Fishtine relationship (iii) Kistiakowsky-Fishtine relationship using the appropriate Fishtine Factor (b) Discuss differences between the estimates you got from your different approaches (e.g., consider solute properties and assumptions made with each approach, and possibly inherent error in estimations). (c) plot the vapor pressure data for this class of compounds to estimate what it is for p-n-butylphenol. Plot the data below as a function of boiling point (BP aka Tb) so log P vs Tb. What vapor pressure estimated in 1(a) best compares to this value (make sure you compare in common units).
