Vapor Pressure of a Liquid Solution

created by Christopher Haslego, author of the Chemical Engineers' Resource Page (http://www.cheresources.com) Instructions for this spreadsheet: This spreadsheet will take the following inputs: Temperature Liquid Composition of one component Critical Temperatures and Pressures Molar Volumes

Simply input the data into the yellow cells and click on the "Solve Spreadsheet" button.** The vapor pressure of the two liquid solution will appear at the top of the sheet. The true vapor pressure of each component (also called fugacity) in labeled f 0 The error associated with this method is +/- 1.00% **The spreadsheet does not have to solved to get the vapor pressure of the solution, only to get the compressibility factor. This value only influenced the activity coefficients and has no bearing on the vapor pressure of the solution. ie. If you don't need the activity coefficients or the compressiblity factor, don't bother solving the spreadsheet, just change your inputs
