	Vapor Pressure
		The temperature at which the vapor pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure is called the boiling point.
		The pressure of this equilibrium is called the saturation vapor pressure.
		The boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the saturated vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the surrounding atmospheric pressure.

	Vapor pressure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vapor pressure is the pressure of a vapor in equilibrium with its non-vapor phases.
		This is the equilibrium vapor pressure or saturation vapor pressure of that substance at that temperature.
		It may be noted that the vapor pressure of a substance in liquid form is usually different from the vapor pressure of the same substance in solid form.

	Saturation vapor pressure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The saturation vapor pressure is the static pressure of a vapor when the vapor phase of some material is in equilibrium with the liquid phase of that same material.
		It is the vapor pressure usually found over liquid water, and is a dynamic equilibrium where the rate of condensation of water equals the rate of evaporation of water.
		Thus, at saturation vapor pressure, air has a relative humidity of 100% and condensation occurs with any increase of water vapor content or a reduction in temperature.

		vapor pressure, pressure exerted by a vapor that is in equilibrium with its liquid.
		Vapor pressure depends on various factors, the most important of which is the nature of the liquid.
		Another factor affecting vapor pressure is the presence of dissolved substances in the liquid or solid; according to Raoult's law, the vapor pressure of a pure liquid or solid is lowered by the addition of a solute.

	ISA \| Getting a grip on humidity
		If we consider air, this means the total atmospheric pressure of 1.013 bars (14.7 pounds per square inch absolute) is the sum of the partial pressures of all its constituents: nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor, argon, carbon dioxide, and various other gases in trace amounts.
		If saturation vapor pressure has occurred in air or a gas mixture, introducing additional water vapor requires that an equal amount of water vapor condense out of the mixture as a liquid or solid.
		Vapor pressure tables also enable one to look up the saturation vapor pressure for any temperature, and of course there are a number of water vapor calculation programs available for PCs.

	Vapor Pressure
		The vapor pressure of a liquid is the equilibrium pressure of a vapor above its liquid (or solid); that is, the pressure of the vapor resulting from evaporation of a liquid (or solid) above a sample of the liquid (or solid) in a closed container.
		Conversely, vapor pressure decreases as the temperature decreases.
		The pressure exerted by the gas in equilibrium with a solid or liquid in a closed container at a given temperature is called the vapor pressure.

	Water Vapor and Vapor Pressure
		The boiling point is defined as the temperature at which the saturated vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the surrounding atmospheric pressure.
		Since the vapor pressure increases with temperature, it follows that for pressure greater than 760 mmHg (e.g., in a pressure cooker), the boiling point is above 100C and for pressure less than 760 mmHg (e.g., at altitudes above sea level), the boiling point will be lower than 100C.
		Values were taken from the saturated vapor pressure table for water near 100 degrees C. An empirical fit to these data values was made, and the formula obtained is shown on the diagram.

	Vapor Pressure: Molecular Size
		The measurement of pressure exerted by a vapor is demonstrated using barometers.
