Clausius-Clapeyron Eqn and Arrhenius Eqn.

[Robert Zellmer]

I mentioned the Clausius-Clapeyron Eqn in lecture and how
it's similar to the Arrhenius Eqn.  They both have the same
form but used some different variables.  It's it a good idea
to go back to chapter 11 and look at the CC Eqn.  It is discussed
in detail in my Chapter 11 notes (see the "Notes" link on my
web page).  In the the book you will find it in a "A Closer Look"
box in chapter 11 in section 11.5.  I highly suggest you do some
of the end-of-chapter exercises corresponding to this eqn.
These are 11.84-11.86 in the 14th and 13th editions, 11.83-11.85
in the 12th ed., 11.89-11.91 in the 11th ed. and 10th ed.

I would suggest you do this before looking at the Arrhenius
Eqn.  When you do you will see the similarities between the
two eqns.  If you know how to use one of these two eqns you
should know how to use the other (mathematically manipulate
the eqns).  You should know what the variables are in each eqn
and understand what the eqns are used for and the corresponding
graphs (look at the linear form of the eqns and see what the
slopes of the graphs are equal to).
