Js. Chickos et al., A GROUP ADDITIVITY APPROACH FOR THE ESTIMATION OF VAPOR-PRESSURES OF LIQUID HYDROCARBONS FROM 298 TO 500-K, Journal of organic chemistry, 58(20), 1993, pp. 5345-5350
A group additivity relationship is developed to estimate vapor pressur
es of hydrocarbons. These group values are able to reproduce experimen
tal vapor pressures of the 326 compounds that comprise the dataset wit
hin a factor of 1.6. The vapor pressures range from about 1000 kPa (10
atm) to 10(-6) kPa, about 9 orders of magnitude. The temperature depe
ndence of these group values are provided to cover the temperature ran
ge 298-500 K.
