Volatility (chemistry) vapor pressure chart (right hand side) displays the vapor pressures dependency for a variety of liquids as a function of temperature. For example, at any given temperature, chloromethane (methyl chloride) has the highest vapor pressure of any of the liquids in the chart. It also has the lowest normal boiling point (−24.2 °C), which is where the vapor pressure curve (the blue line) intersects the horizontal pressure line of one atmosphere (atm) of absolute vapor pressure. Volatility (chemistry) In chemistry and physics, volatility is quantified by the tendency of a substance to vaporize. Volatility is directly related to a substance's
Equivalent (chemistry) univalent ions provides the same amount of equivalents while the same amount of divalent ions provides twice the amount of equivalents. For example, 1 mmol (0.001 mol) of Na is equal 1 meq, while 1 mmol of Ca is equal 2 meq. Equivalent (chemistry) An equivalent (symbol: equiv) is the amount of a substance that reacts with (or is "equivalent" to) an arbitrary amount of another substance in a given chemical reaction. It is an archaic unit of measurement that was used in chemistry and the biological sciences in the era before researchers knew how to determine the chemical formula
