1.1. Calculate the vapour pressure of normal decane at 355 K, using: (a) the Cox chart, (b) the Lee-Kesler equation, (c) a linear relation between the logarithm of vapour pressure and inverse of temperature connecting the normal boiling point and the critical point. 1.2. Plot the vapour pressure vs. temperature for the following compounds on the reduced scales of (P/Pc) and (T/Tc): methane, normal hexane, benzene, normal decane, and eicosane. Suggest a physical property, such as the acentric factor, or critical compressibility factor, as the third parameter in a three-parameter corresponding state model for the vapour pressure
