Vapour pressure
A measure of a substance's propensity to evaporate, vapour pressure is the force per unit area exerted by vapour in an equilibrium state with surroundings at a given pressure. It increases exponentially with an increase in temperature. A relative measure of chemical volatility, vapour pressure is used to calculate water partition coefficients and volatilization rate constants.
