heat of vaporization

(i) The vapour pressure of H2O is0.026 bar at 20oC and 1.01 bar at 100oC. Estimate theheat of vaporization of the liquid.

For this I am using he clapeyron equation

0.026 bar = 2600 Pa
1.01 bar = 10100 Pa
20 degrees = 293.15K
100 degrees = 373.15K
R = 8.31447

ln(P2/P1) = H/R * ( 1/T(1) - 1/T(2)

=> H = (ln(P2/P2) * R) / (1/T(1) - 1/T(2))

Putting in the values i'm not getting the right number... am I using the correct equation? rearranging incorrectly? I'm not sure...
What number are you getting then?
