The Antoine equation [2][3] is a mathematical expression of the relation between the vapor
pressure and the temperature of pure liquid or solid substances. The basic form of the equation
is:

A simpler form of the equation with only two coefficients is sometimes used:
Liquid mixtures[edit]
Raoult's law gives an approximation to the vapor pressure of
mixtures of liquids. It states that the activity (pressure orfugacity) of
a single-phase mixture is equal to the mole-fraction-weighted sum
of the components' vapor pressures:

Dhring's rule[edit]
Main article: Dhring's rule
Dhring's rule states that a linear relationship exists
between the temperatures at which two solutions
exert the same vapor pressure.

Meaning in meteorology[edit]
In meteorology, the term vapor pressure is used to
mean the partial pressure of water vapor in the
atmosphere, even if it is not in equilibrium,[14] and
the equilibrium vapor pressure is specified
otherwise. Meteorologists also use the
term saturation vapor pressure to refer to the
