Ammonia - Vapour Pressure at Gas-Liquid Equilibrium

Sponsored Links

Anhydrous ammonia , NH 3 : Thermophysical properties

  • a colorless non-flammable liquefied gas
  • vapor is lighter than air - 0.6 compared to air 1.0
  • ignition temperature 1204 o F (651 oC) (vapor concentration between 15% and 28% )
  • corrodes galvanized metals, cast iron, copper, brass or copper alloys
  • weight of liquid ammonia 5.15 pounds per gallon (water weight 8.33 pounds per gallon )
  • boiling point liquid ammonia at atmospheric pressure -28 o F (-33.3 oC)
  • liquid ammonia expands to 850 times its liquid volume at atmospheric pressure

The vapour pressure of ammonia is the pressure at which ammonia gas is in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed state . At higher pressures ammonia would condense . At this equilibrium condition the vapor pressure is the saturation pressure .
