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.
