Vapor Pressure of Common Esters
The vapor pressure of esters is influenced by factors such as temperature, molecular weight, and intermolecular forces. The following table provides a comprehensive list of vapor pressure values for common esters under 1 atmospheric (atm) pressure. (1 atm = 101,325 Pa)
