Water vapor pressure table

The Kelvin equation can be combined with the relative humidity, RH, if water is involved as the fluid relative humidity indicates how moist the air is. The amount of water vapor in the air at any given time is usually less than that required to saturate the air. The relative humidity is the percentage of saturation humidity, generally calculated in relation to the saturated vapor density. Relative humidity may be defined as the ratio of the water vapor density (mass per unit volume) to the saturation water vapor density, usually expressed in percent. Relative humidity is also approximately equal (exactly equal when water is assumed as an ideal gas) to the ratio of the actual water vapor pressure to the saturation water vapor pressure, RH = PJP°. The P° values corresponding to each temperature are given in tables which can be found in handbooks. If RH is measured in an experiment, then Pv can be calculated by using the saturation water vapor pressure tables and can be inserted into the Kelvin equation.

The water-vapor transmission rate (WVTR) is another descriptor of barrier polymers. Strictly, it is not a permeabihty coefficient. The dimensions are quantity times thickness in the numerator and area times a time interval in the denominator. These dimensions do not have a pressure dimension in the denominator as does the permeabihty. Common commercial units for WVTR are (gmil)/(100 in. d). Table 2 contains conversion factors for several common units for WVTR. This text uses the preferred nmol/(m-s). The WVTR describes the rate that water molecules move through a film when one side has a humid environment and the other side is dry. The WVTR is a strong function of temperature because both the water content of the air and the permeabihty are direcdy related to temperature. Eor the WVTR to be useful, the water-vapor pressure difference for the value must be reported. Both these facts are recognized by specifying the relative humidity and temperature for the WVTR value. This enables the user to calculate the water-vapor pressure difference. Eor example, the common conditions are 90% relative humidity (rh) at 37.8°C, which means the pressure difference is 5.89 kPa (44 mm Hg). 

This shows that the presence of air in the gas phase has a very small influence on the vapor pressure of water. Repeating the same calculation procedure for other temperatures, we can show that the vapor pressure of water can with good accuracy be taken from the vapor pressure tables for saturated water (water has the same pressure as water vapor when they are in equilibrium), as though there were no air in the gas phase. So the vapor pressure of water is with good accuracy also in this case just a function of temperature, and Eq. (4.97) is valid. New vapor pressure tables will not be needed for calculations with humid air. 

Saturated water vapor pressure is most accurately found from vapor tables or can be approximated with the following equation ... 

Relative humidity is usually considered only in connection with atmospheric air, but since it is unconcerned with the nature of any other components or the total mixture pressure, the term is applicable to vapor content in any problem. The saturated water vapor pressure at a given temperature is always known from steam tables or charts. It is the existing partial vapor pressure which is desired and therefore calculable when the relative humidity is stated. 

From steam tables (or fluid vapor pressure tables), read at 24.98 psia (for water of this example), temperature = 240°F. 

Making and Using Tables Use the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics to look up water vapor pressure at the temperature of the water being used in the activity. Record the answer in Data Table 1. 

DNAPLs have higher densities than water, most between 1 and 2 g/mL, some are near 3 g/mL, for example, bromoform, which has a density of 2.89 g/mL. They have limited water solubilities, and are usually found as the free-phase immiscible with water or as residuals trapped by soil. Most DNAPLs are volatile or semivolatile Pankow82 has listed information on their physical and chemical properties, such as molecular weight, density, boiling points, solubility in water, vapor pressure, sediment/water partition coefficient, viscosity, Henry s law constant, and so on (see Tables 18.8 and 18.9).

The amounts of water absorbed as function of relative water vapor pressure (relative humidity) for HA and its esters are reported in Tables 1-4. HA absorbed the highest amount of water at all humidity levels compared to its esters. The ethyl ester (Hyaff ) absorbs more water than the other two, and the dodecyl ester (Hyaff73) absorbs more water than the benzyl ester (Hyaffll). A small percentage of water absorption hysteresis, between sorption and desorption, was found for the four different materials analyzed. No significant differences in the percentage of hysteresis was found among the HA and the three esters. 

To understand vapor pressure, let s consider an empty jar that is partially filled with water and then covered with a lid. We will assume the space above the water in the jar contains only air when we screw on the jar s lid. After the lid is place on the jar, water molecules leave the liquid and enter the air above the liquid s surface. This process is known as vaporization. As time goes by, more water molecules fill the air space above the liquid, but at the same time, some gaseous water molecules condense back into the liquid state. Eventually, a point is reached where the amount of water vapor above the liquid remains constant. At this point, the rates of vaporization and condensation are equal, and equilibrium is reached. The partial pressure exerted by the water at this point is known as the equilibrium vapor pressure or just vapor pressure. Vapor pressure is directly related to the temperature, that is, the higher the temperature, the higher the vapor pressure. Table 9.4 gives... 

Fortunately, water-vapor pressures are known accurately over the entire liquid range of water (see Table 11-1) and do not have to be determined experimentally each time. 

DELIQUESCENCE. When a substance absorbs moisture upon exposure to the atmosphere, the substance is said lo be deliquescent. At ordinary temperatures the vapor pressure of water varies as shown in Table I. If the solution of a substance in water has a lower water vapor pressure than that of the atmosphere at the given temperature, water vapor condenses in the solution from Ihe atmosphere until the water vapor pressure of the solution equals the water vapor pressure of the surrounding atmosphere.

By comparing the second and third columns of Table V.l, it is seen that the agreement between the experimental and calculated water vapor pressure values is quite good. 

Electron emission was also observed in water vapor pressures of 4 x 10"4 Pa as seen in Table 5.5. Ti and Al emitted electrons intensely, while other metals emitted weakly but distinctly. The metal hydroxides other than Mo(OH)3 and Cu(OH)2 have sufficiently high negative heat for electron emission. 

As a particular example, one can consider the homogeneous nucleation in the pure water vapor at 25° C. The surface tension coefficient of water is a = 71.96 N/m at this temperature. Table 5.1 shows some characteristics of the new phase. When the oversaturation is p/p =8.1, the critical nucleus of 0.5 nm radius is seen to comprise 18 water molecules. The equihbrium pressure of such nuclei is not high (approximately 10 bar). Since the water vapor pressure in real clouds is usually no more than 0.1% over that of the saturated vapor, it is unrealistic to expect in the rea sonable time scale the homogeneous formation of water drops in Earth s atmosphere. 

Since we have the number of moles of oxygen, we must use the partial pressure of oxygen, which is the barometric pressure minus the water vapor pressure (from Table 12.3) ... 

Example 2.3. Activity and Activity Coefficient of Aqueous NaCl Water vapor pressures have been measured over NaCl solutions of varying molal concentrations. Results of such measurements allow calculations of relative vairor pressure lowering, 4>, and 7., for a range of NaCl concentrations in water. Robinson and Stokes (1959) provide such data for concentrations ranging fn)m 0.1 to 6.0 molal. Table 2.1 shows results for three different concentrations. The mole fraction of H2O, Xfy, is also included. From such data the activity of aqueous NaCl can be computed, (see also Figure 2.4.)... 

Another variation of this type of problem that you are likely to encounter involves mathematically removing the water vapor pressure from a sample of gas, in order to determine the pressure exerted by a dry gas. In the laboratory, you may collect a sample of a gas by bubbling it through a column of water. The resultant gas will be a mixture of the water vapor and whatever gaseous product that you intended to collect. In order to subtract out the water vapor pressure, you must determine the temperature of the gas sample, and then refer to a table such as the one shown on page 271. 

The only challenge to this variation on Dalton s Law is that it is unlikely that anyone will remind you to use a table such as the one presented in this lesson (Vapor Pressure of Water). Just try to associate questions about water vapor pressure to this type of table. If a question talks about a gas collected over water or if it asks for the pressure of the dry gas, then you probably will need a table of water vapor pressures.

Another term that measures how concentrated the vapor is in the gas phase is the dew point. Since vapor pressure decreases with decreasing temperature, a gas holding a specific amount of vapor can be brought to the saturation point by lowering the temperature. The temperature at which the gas reaches saturation in this fashion is called the dew point. As an example, suppose the air in a room at 70°F is at 50% relative humidity. From the steam tables, the vapor pressure of water at 70°F is 0.3631 psi, which means that the air at 50% humidity holds water vapor with a partial pressure of (0.50) (0.3631) or 0.1812psi. If the temperature is dropped to the point where 0.1812 psi equals the water vapor pressure (aroimd 52°F), the air becomes saturated with water and any further drop in temperature will cause condensation. The dew point of this air mixture is then 52°F. Obviously, if the air were already saturated at 70°F, (i.e., 100% relative humidity), the dew point would also be 70°F. 

Another way to increase water vapor pressure in the reactor is to increase, without any exhaust valve, the amount of specimen. Table 1 shows that if all the six sample holders are filled, is considerably longer. The use of an exhaust valve appears necessary to get a constant independent of the amount of the specimen [2].
