Figure 1: Measurements of vapor pressure of PEG4 as a function of organic activity, following a modified Raoult’s Law behavior. Experimental points indicated by open circles with error bounds given by error bars; the filled square point is the extrapolated value of the saturation vapor pressure of the neat liquid. |
Figure 2: Measurements of the saturation vapor pressure of neat PEG5 as a function of temperature. The red dashed line is the trend line to guide the eye; dotted lines indicate the 2σ error bounds. |
