Calculate the persistency (S) of VX at  25oC ,VX: MW= 267.38; Po = 0.0007 torr @ 25oC

 


 

S is given by:
Pi M¡T
S =
p V mT,
where:
S = persistence
Pi = vapour pressure of water at 15°C (288° K)
= 12.7 mmHg
p = vapour pressure of substance in question
at T° K
M1 = molecular weight of water = 18
M = molecular weight of substance in question
T = Absolute temperature
T1 = Absolute temperature corresponding to
%3D
%3D
15°C, i.e. 288° K
