  • Equilibrium vapor pressures

    The vapor pressure is defined to be the amount of gas of a compound that is in equilibrium with the liquid or solid. If the intermolecular forces are weak, then molecules can break out of the solid or liquid more easily into the gas phase.

  • Le Chatelier's principle applied to freeze drying process

    When heat is applied, a substance normally changes from a solid to a liquid, and finally to a gas, or vapor. Sublimation is a process whereby a substance changes from a solid to a vapor without first becoming a liquid.

  • Working with triple point

    At the triple point, solid, liquid and vapor are in equilibrium. For this to occur, the vapor pressure of the solid must equal the vapor pressure of the liquid.
