Stipulated vapor-pressure calculation

ID: stipulated-vapor-pressure-calculation

Consider an unnamed model substance with molar latent heat and saturation pressure at . Stipulate the Ideal-vapor Clausius-Clapeyron approximation throughout , constant , and . These parameters define an illustrative model, not a measured dataset or a fit to water. At ,
At the reference state the gas molar volume is , and the local slope is . The tangent estimate is much lower than the integrated result: a local derivative should not be extrapolated over this whole interval. By contrast, over a small temperature increment, the fractional sensitivity is .
