Antoine's equation is a correlation for vapor pressures based on the ClausiusClapeyron equation. It has been used over limited temperature ranges.
log10Pvap=A-BT+C-273.15
where T is in K and Pvap is in bar. Use Page A55 of Poling et al. for the coefficients needed for ethylbenzene.
a Calculate the vapor pressure of ethylbenzene at 347.25K and 460K with Antoine's equation.
b
For the above, experimental values are 0.13332 bar at 347.25K(Chaiyavech and van Winkle 1959) and 3.325 bar at 460K(Ambrose et al.1967), respectively. For each temperature, report the relative deviation using the following equation:
Pcalc-PexpPexp100[%]
c
A more elaborate method is a modified Wagner equation
lnPrvap=a+b1.5+c2.5+d5Tr
where Prvap is the reduced vapor pressure (PvapPc),Tr is the reduced temperature, and is (1-Tr). calculate the vapor pressure of ethylbenzene at 347.25K and 460K with the Wagner equation. Based on the experimental data given in part b, report the relative deviation for each data point.
