The universal gas constant was apparently introduced independently by Clausius' student, A.F. Horstmann (1873) [3] [4] and Dmitri Mendeleev who reported it first on 12 September 1874. [5] Using his extensive measurements of the properties of gases, [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Mendeleev also calculated it with high precision, within 0.3% of its modern value.
A millimetre of mercury is a manometric unit of pressure, formerly defined as the extra pressure generated by a column of mercury one millimetre high, and currently defined as exactly 133.322 387 415 pascals [1] or approximately 133.322 pascals. [2] It is denoted mmHg[3] or mm Hg. [4][2]
0.019 336 77 psi. The torr (symbol: Torr) is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, defined as exactly 1 760 of a standard atmosphere (101325 Pa). Thus one torr is exactly 101325 760 pascals (≈ 133.32 Pa). Historically, one torr was intended to be the same as one "millimeter of mercury", but subsequent redefinitions of ...

Since 1982, STP has been defined as a temperature of 273.15 K (0 °C, 32 °F) and an absolute pressure of exactly 10 5 Pa (100 kPa, 1 bar). NIST uses a temperature of 20 °C (293.15 K, 68 °F) and an absolute pressure of 1 atm (14.696 psi, 101.325 kPa). [ 3 ] This standard is also called normal temperature and pressure (abbreviated as NTP).
Atmospheric pressure, also known as air pressure or barometric pressure (after the barometer), is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth. The standard atmosphere (symbol: atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 Pa (1,013.25 hPa), which is equivalent to 1,013.25 millibars, [1] 760 mm Hg, 29.9212 inches Hg, or 14.696 psi. [2]

Vapor pressure[a] or equilibrium vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by a vapor in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases (solid or liquid) at a given temperature in a closed system. The equilibrium vapor pressure is an indication of a liquid's thermodynamic tendency to evaporate. It relates to the balance of particles escaping ...
