Vapor Pressure of n-Amyl Acetate: Literature Review and Experimental Determination

Authors: Ann Brozena; Helen M. Walker; Elwin C. Penski; CHEMICAL RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING CENTER ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND MD
Abstract:
A thorough review of literature vapor pressure data for n-amyl acetate revealed a conflict in values at ambient temperature. The vapor pressure of a pure sample of n-amyl acetate was determined directly by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and indirectly from evaporation rate. A best fit predictive equation describing vapor pressure of n-amyl acetate as a function of temperature has been generated which is more reliable than currently available literature data. Vapor pressure, Differential thermal analysis, DTA, Evaporation rate, N-Amyl acetate, Volatility, Antoine Equation, Heat of vaporization.
