This table gives the vapor pressure of water above saturated solutions of some common salts at temperature intervals from 10 °C to 40 °C. Data on pure water are given on the last line for comparison. Column definitions for the table are as follows.
Column heading | Definition |
Name | Name of salt-forming saturated solution; salts are listed alphabetically by name |
Mol. form. | Formula of salt-forming saturated solution |
Pvap(10 °C), etc. | Vapor pressure of saturated solution at temperature specified in parentheses in °C, in kPa |
Ref. | Reference for data values |
The references provide additional information on activity coefficients, osmotic coefficients, and enthalpies of vaporization.
Name | Mol. form. | CAS Reg. No. | Pvap(10 ºC)/kPa | Pvap(15 ºC)/kPa | Pvap(20 ºC)/kPa | Pvap(25 ºC)/kPa | Pvap(30 ºC)/kPa | Pvap(35 ºC)/kPa | Pvap(40 ºC)/kPa | Ref. |
