Liquid to Gas Phase Transition

Vapor pressure and temperature

Vapor pressure and temperature

The variation of vapor pressure with temperature is not linear. The intercepts of each curve with the horizontal line at 1 atm (i.e. 760 torr) indicate the normal boiling point of each liquid, ranging from -25 °C for methyl chloride to over 80 °C for fluorobenzene and 2-heptene.
