Chemistry
0.0(0)

Calculates the vapor pressure of a substance at a given temperature using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation. This calculator helps explore phase transitions and thermodynamics.

How To Use

How to use this calculator

Start with your values, or try a preset.

Step 1

Enter Initial Vapor Pressure (P1), Initial Temperature (T1), Final Temperature (T2), and Enthalpy of Vaporization (螖Hvap) in the units shown.

Step 2

Read Enthalpy of Vaporization (螖Hvap), Gas Constant (R), and Final Vapor Pressure (P2) in the results panel. Results update as you change the inputs.

Step 3

Choose a preset to load an example, then adjust the values for your situation.
