  • Vapor Pressure

    A measure of the tendency of a liquid to evaporate and become a gas. The pressure exerted by a saturated vapor above its own liquid in a closed container at a given conditions of temperature and pressure, usually expressed in mmHg. The higher the vapor pressure, the greater the tendency of the substance to evaporate. Dalton’s Law for a mixture of perfect gases states that the mixture pressure is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the constituents. The partial pressure of moisture is called vapor pressure, and is expressed as:Total Pressure (Pt) = Partial Pressure of Air (Pa) + Partial Pressure of Moisture (Pv)
