Antoine's work on vapor pressure equations

Antoine's work on vapor pressure equations relates to predicting how much vapor a liquid can produce at a given temperature. He developed a mathematical formula that connects temperature with vapor pressure, which is the pressure exerted by a vapor in equilibrium with its liquid. By using specific constants for different substances, his equation allows scientists and engineers to calculate the vapor pressure of various liquids, aiding in fields like chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. This understanding is crucial for applications like distillation, refrigerants, and understanding weather patterns.
