Boiling point problem HELP!?

A particular compound has a vapour pressure of 7.0 kPa at 25 degrees Celsius compared to 2.3 kPa for water at the same temperature. Determine the boiling point of the compound.

Answer:
You cannot answer this question with the information given. You need to know the enthalpy of vaporization for the unknown compound. Knowing the vapor pressure of water doesn't help.

The question is also sloppy in that the pressure for which the boiling point is to be determine is not specified. I assume the pressure is suppsoed to be 1 atm, but the question should specify.

The boiling point of a compound is really a pair of numbers: a temperature and a pressure. The boiling temperature is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a compound is equal to the total pressure.
