What is the vapor pressure of water at 105°C?

1 Answer

You can do this with the Antoine equation:

log P = A - B/(C+T)

where:

  • P is the vapor pressure of water.
  • T is the water temperature in celsius.
  • A,B, and C are the Antoine constants for water.

When the water temperature is in the range of 1 - 100^@ "C":

A=8.07131, B=1730.63, C= 233.426

When the water temperature is in the range of 99-374^@ "C":

A=8.14019, B=1810.94, C=244.485

If you calculate using this way you will get answer in "torr":

P = 10^(A - B/(C+T))

= 10^{8.14019-{1810.94}/{105+244.485}}

= 10^{8.14019-5.18174}

= 10^{2.95845}

= "908.76 torr"

This is the water pressure at 105^@ "C".
