Chemistry: a textbook correction
The tutor suggests a correction to example 11.2 in Chemistry (sixth edition) by Charles E. Mortimer.
Example 11.2 (page 275) of said textbook is about the Clausius-Clapeyron equation. At one point, the equation becomes
log(0.526/p1) = 0.491
Then, the antilog is taken; the next line should read
0.526/p1 = 3.10
From there, what follows agrees with the text:
p1 = 0.170
