Table data obtained from CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics 47th ed. Note that "(s)" annotation indicates equilibrium temperature of vapor over solid. Otherwise the temperature is equilibrium of vapor over liquid. log 10 of Carbon tetrachloride vapor pressure.
Values are given in terms of temperature necessary to reach the specified pressure. Valid results within the quoted ranges from most equations are included in the table for comparison. A conversion factor is included into the original first coefficients of the equations to provide the pressure in pascals (CR2: 5.006, SMI: -0.875).
The boiling point of water is the temperature at which the saturated vapor pressure equals the ambient pressure. Water supercooled below its normal freezing point has a higher vapor pressure than that of ice at the same temperature and is, thus, unstable. Calculations of the (saturation) vapor pressure of water are commonly used in meteorology.
[26] [27] Exposure to high concentrations of carbon tetrachloride (including vapor) can affect the central nervous system and degenerate the liver [27] and kidneys, [28] and prolonged exposure may lead to coma or death. [29] Chronic exposure to carbon tetrachloride can cause liver [30] [31] and kidney damage and could result in cancer. [32] [33]
An important basic value, which is not registered in the table, is the saturated vapor pressure at the triple point of water. The internationally accepted value according to measurements of Guildner, Johnson and Jones (1976) amounts to: P w (t tp = 0.01 °C) = 611.657 Pa ± 0.010 Pa at (1 − α) = 99%
According to the American Meteorological Society Glossary of Meteorology, saturation vapor pressure properly refers to the equilibrium vapor pressure of water above a flat surface of liquid water or solid ice, and is a function only of temperature and whether the condensed phase is liquid or solid.
