Solved: The vapor pressures of 1-chlorotetradecane at

Chapter 2, Problem 2.37

(choose chapter or problem)

The vapor pressures of 1-chlorotetradecane at several temperatures are tabulated here. T(C) 98.5 131.8 148.2 166.2 199.8 215.5 p*(mm Hg) 1 5 10 20 60 100 (a) Use two-point linear interpolation to estimate the value of p* at T 185C. (b) Suppose you only know the data at 98.5C and 215.5C. Use two-point linear interpolation to estimate the vapor pressure at 148.2C. Assume the measured vapor pressure in the table is the true value, and calculate the percentage error in your interpolated value. Why would you expect the error associated with the estimate in Part (a) to be significantly less than that of Part (b)?
