Vapor pressure or equilibrium vapor pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by a vapor in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases (solid or liquid) at a given temperature in a closed system. The equilibrium vapor pressure is an indication of a liquid`s evaporation rate. It relates to the tendency of particles to escape from the li....

The pressure exerted by a vapor in equilibrium with its liquid or solid. In an enclosed space this occurs when equal numbers of molecules are entering and leaving the vapor, which is then saturated. For a pure substance, the saturated vapor pressure (SVP) depends on the temperature. The boiling poin...

A measure of a substance's propensity to evaporate, vapor pressure is the force per unit area exerted by vapor in an equilibrium state with surroundings at a given pressure. It increases exponentially with an increase in temperature. A relative measure of chemical volatility, vapor pressure is used to calculate water partition coefficients and vola...
