Trouton Rule Estimate
Estimate the enthalpy of vaporization from the boiling point using Trouton's rule with a 85 J/(mol·K) entropy of vaporization.
Description
Estimate the enthalpy of vaporization from the boiling point using Trouton's rule with a 85 J/(mol·K) entropy of vaporization.
Trouton Rule Estimate: Estimate the enthalpy of vaporization from the boiling point using Trouton's rule with a 85 J/(mol·K) entropy of vaporization.
When to use Trouton Rule Estimate
Use this chemistry calculator to reproduce a named relationship with explicit quantities and units for study, laboratory planning, or an independent numerical check.
- Boiling point (K)
- Required number input.
How Trouton Rule Estimate works
Estimate the enthalpy of vaporization from the boiling point using Trouton's rule with a 85 J/(mol·K) entropy of vaporization. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Enthalpy of vaporization (kJ/mol)
- The resulting enthalpy of vaporization returned as a number.
Limitations and assumptions
- Thermodynamic quantities are state- and temperature-dependent and must use consistent reference states and sign conventions. Heat loss, phase changes, non-ideal mixing, path-dependent work, and heat-capacity variation may need separate treatment.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Check units and significant figures, compare the result with limiting cases, and use measured or source-specific constants where available. Laboratory, safety, and regulatory decisions require validated methods and appropriate uncertainty analysis.
