Vapor Pressures, Critical Parameters, Boiling Points, and Triple Points of Halomethane Molecular Substances

Abstract

A simple general corresponding-states principle for vapor pressure incorporated with a simple vapor-pressure equation is presented to describe within and extend beyond the range of available experimental data for 25 halomethane substances. Apparatus type, measurement method, and precision and uncertainties are listed for the experimental vapor-pressure data sets. The experimental data with the corresponding ranges have been reviewed to test the present method in representing the vapor-pressure behavior. Comparisons with available data show that the extended corresponding-states principle for vapor pressure has very good accuracies with different data sets. The substance-dependent characteristic parameters such as critical temperature, critical density, critical pressure, and acentric factor are given from reliable literature sources along with the general method. The values of the pressures, along with their first and second derivatives as function of temperature over the entire region from the triple point to the critical point, are tabulated and recommended for scientific and practical uses.
