Vapor pressure is the most important of the basic thermodynamic properties affec ting liquids and vapors. The vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by a pure component at equilibrium at any temperature when both liquid and vapor phases exist and thus extends from a minimum at the triple point temperature to a maximum at the critical temperature, the critical pressure. This section briefly reviews methods for both correlating vapor pressure data and for predicting vapor pressure of pure compounds. Except at very high total pressures (above about 10 MPa), there is no effect of total pressure on vapor pressure. If such an effect is present, a correction, the Poynting correction, can be applied. The pressure exerted above a solid-vapor mixture may also be called vapor pressure but is normallv only available as experimental data for common compounds that sublime. 

The terra ps is a fictitious pressure, because the cross-sectional area A is not equal to either the surface area of the particles nor the actual contact areas In actual cakes, there is a small area of contact whereby the pressure exerted on the solids may be defined as Fj/Ac-... 

Vapor pressure is an important property of liquids, and to a much lesser extent, of solids. If a liquid is allowed to evaporate in a confined space, tlie pressure of Uie vapor phase increases as Uie amount of vapor increases. If Uiere is sufficient liquid present, Uie pressure in Uie vapor space eventually comes to equal exacUy Uie pressure exerted by the liquid at its own surface. At Uiis point, a dynamic equilibrium exists in wliich vaporization and condensation take place at equal rates and Uie pressure in Uie vapor space remains constant. The pressure exerted at equilibrium is called Uie vapor pressure of the liquid. Solids, like liquids, also exert a vapor pressure. EvaporaUon of solids (sublimaUon) is noUccable only for Uie few solids characterized by appreciable vapor pressures. 

The vapor pressure (P ) of a pure liquid at a given temperature (T) is the pressure exerted by its vapor in equilibrium with the liquid phase in a closed system. All liquids and solids exhibit unique vapor pressure-temperature curves. For instance, in Figure 2-79, lines BA and AC represent the equilibrium vapor pressure curves of the solid and liquid phases, respectively. 

Besides the effect of temperature and pressure, the mechanical pressure exerted on the solid phase, and its state of division, influence (although only to a slight extent) its solubility in the liquid. Thus, if a moist precipitate is exposed to pressure in a filter-press, it usually aggregates together, and Hulett (1901) showed that the effect of division (i.e., of surface tension) becomes... 

Liquids with high vapor pressures at ordinary temperatures are said to be volatile. Methanol (vapor pressure 98 Torr at 20°C) is highly volatile mercury (1.4 mTorr) is not. Solids also exert a vapor pressure, but their vapor pressures are usually much lower than those of liquids because the molecules arc gripped more tightly in a solid than they are in a liquid. Nevertheless, solids vaporize in the process called sublimation (Section 6.11), which we can observe in the presence of some pungent solids—such as menthol and mothballs. 

Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by a vapor when a state of equilibrium exists between the vapor and its liquid (or solid) state. It is the pressure in a closed space above a substance when no other gas is present. Vapor pressure varies with temperature, so the temperature must be stated to determine vapor pressure. At any temperature any liquid (or solid) will have some vapor pressure, however small. 

Vapor Pressure Vapor pressure is a function of the substance and the temperature and is often used as a measure of how rapidly a liquid will evaporate. The pressure exerted when a solid or liquid is in equilibrium with its own vapor. 

We now look at the phase diagram for water in Figure 5.10. Ice melts at 0 °C if the pressure is p° (as represented by T and Pi respectively on the figure). If the pressure exerted on the ice increases to P2, then the freezing temperature decreases to 7). (The freezing temperature decreases in response to the negative slope of the liquid-solid phase boundary (see the inset to Figure 5.10), which is most unusual virtually all other substances show a positive slope of (lp/dT.)... 

Nearly every substance can exist as a solid, a liquid, or a gas. These are the three common states of matter. Whether a substance is a solid or a liquid or a gas depends on its temperature and the pressure placed on it. At room temperature (about 22° C) and at the normal pressure exerted by the atmosphere, water exists as a liquid, which can flow from one container to another. But if its temperature is lowered to about —10° C, liquid water freezes to solid ice. Going the opposite direction in temperature and at this same pressure, water changes to a gas when the temperature exceeds 100° C. Changes in state can also occur by changing the pressure while holding temperature constant. The relationship between temperature and pressure and the three states of matter is easier to see when displayed in a phase diagram. Because phase diagrams provide so much information, they are known for thousands of substances.

Sorption of water vapour to or from a food depends on the vapour pressure exerted by the water in the food. If this vapour pressure is lower than that of the atmosphere, absorption occurs until vapour pressure equilibrium is reached. Conversely, desorption of water vapour results if the vapour pressure exerted by water in the food is greater than that of the atmosphere. Adsorption is regarded as sorption of water at a physical interface between a solid and its environment. Absorption is regarded as a process in... 

The vapor pressure, pv, is the pressure exerted by fluids and solids at equilibrium with their own vapor phase. The vapor pressure is a strong function of T, as expressed in the Clausius-Clapeyron equation [1] ... 

VAPOR PRESSURE. The vapor pressure of a substance (solid or liquid) is die pressure exerted by its vapor when in equilibrium with the substance. For pure substances it depends only on the temperature. The simplest way to measure the vapor pressure of a substance is to introduce a small amount of it into die closed end of a barometer tube and note die decrease in the height of the barometer. 

The pressure exerted at equilibrium by the vapor above a liquid (or moist solid) contained in a closed system at a given temperature is known as the saturated or equilibrium vapor pressure. At equilibrium, the rate of liquid molecules evaporating and entering the vapor phase is considered to be equal to the rate of vapor molecules condensing into the liquid phase. The vapor pressure increases with the increase in temperature. 

Whenever we see the symbol it means that the species on both sides are in dynamic equilibrium. Although products (water molecules in the gas phase) are being formed from reactants (water molecules in the liquid phase), the products are changing back into reactants at a matching rate. With this picture in mind, we can define the vapor pressure of a liquid (or a solid) as the pressure exerted by its vapor when the vapor and the liquid (or the solid) are in dynamic equilibrium with each other ... 

Recall from Section 10.5 that a liquid in a closed container is in equilibrium with its vapor and that the amount of pressure exerted by the vapor is called the vapor pressure. When you compare the vapor pressure of a pure solvent with that of a solution at the same temperature, however, you find that the two values are different. If the solute is nonvolatile and has no appreciable vapor pressure of its own, as occurs when a solid is dissolved, then the vapor pressure of the solution is always lower than that of the pure solvent. If the solute is volatile and has a significant vapor pressure of its own, as often occurs in a mixture of two liquids, then the vapor pressure of the mixture is intermediate between the vapor pressures of the two pure liquids. 

For example, the measured pressure exerted by an enclosed gas can be thought of as a time-averaged manifestation of the individual molecules random motions. When one considers an individual molecule, however, statistical thermodynamics would propose its random motion or pressure could be quite different from that measured by even the most sensitive gauge which acts to average a distribution of individual molecule pressures. The particulate nature of matter is fundamental to statistical thermodynamics as opposed to classical thermodynamics, which assumes matter is continuous. Further, these elementary particles and their complex substructures exhibit wave properties even though intra- and interparticle energy transfers are quantized, ie, not continuous. Statistical thermodynamics holds that the impression of continuity of properties, and even the solidity of matter is an effect of scale. 

The next advance in the understanding of the forces which underlie the topochemical principle was due to McBride (3). He introduced the concept of local stress to explain the details of the mechanisms by which diacyl peroxides decompose in the solid state. McBride showed that least motion can be overcome in these cases by anisotropic stresses equivalent to many tens of kilobars of pressure exerted by the product carbon dioxide molecules trapped in unfavorable lattice poitions. 

At the three-phase contact line the surface tension exerts strong forces on the surface. For instance, if we consider a water drop on a polymer surface, typical contact angles are 90°. The surface tension pulls upwards on the solid surface. If we estimate the wetting line to have a width of 6 = 10 nm, the force F per unit length l can be related to the effective pressure exerted on the solid surface ... 

Perhaps the most severe assumption in the Darnell and Mol model is the isotropic stress distribution. Recalling the discussion on compaction in Section 4.5, the stress distribution in the screw channel is expected to be complex. The first attempt to account for the nonisotropic nature of the stress distribution was made by Schneider (36). By assuming a certain ratio between compressive stresses in perpendicular directions and accounting for the solid plug geometry, he obtained a more realistic stress distribution, where the pressure exerted by the solids on the flights, the root of the screw, and the barrel surface are all different and less than the down-channel pressure. The ratio between the former and the latter is of the order of 0.3-0.4. 

If there are solid drugs left in the osmotic pump tablet, the drug concentration becomes Cs, the solubility of the drug, and the osmotic pressure exerted by the dissolved drug is ns. Then the rate of drug release becomes zero order as given by ... 

Experiment 3 pressure is 4.588 torr. Again we start with ice as the only component in the cylinder at —20°C. In this case the pressure exerted on the ice by the piston is 4.588 torr. As the cylinder is heated, no new phase appears until the temperature reaches 0.0098°C. At this point, called the triple point, solid and liquid water have identical vapor pressures of 4.588 torr. Thus at 0.0098°C and 4.588 torr all three states of water are present. In fact, only under these conditions can all three states of water coexist. 

Quite otherwise will be the succession of phenomena according to the second hypothesis the system, formed only of two phases, ammonia gas and the solid solution, is bivariant at a single temperature T the system may be observed in equilibrium for an infinity of different values for the tension of the ammonia gas the pressure exerted b this gas at the moment of equilibrium will increase if ammonia gas is added to the system, and will diminish if gas is withdrawn. 

One might decide between this opinion and the preceding theory by repeating Guthrie s experiments at a pressure quite different from atmospheric pressure the composition of the solid furnished by the solution at the instant of solidification, in Guthrie s opinion, should be independent of the pressure exerted upon the system in the opinion advanced here, on the contrary, the composition would in general depend upon the pressure.
