Methanol (data page)

Chemical data page

This page provides supplementary chemical data on methanol.

Vapor pressure of liquid

P in mm Hg		1	10	40	90	400	760	1520	3800	7600	15200	30400	45600
T in °C		−44.0	−16.2	5.0	21.2	49.9	64.7	84.0	112.5	138.0	167.8	203.5	224.0

Table data obtained from CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics 44th ed.

Methanol vapor pressure vs. temperature. Uses Antoine's equation:

\scriptstyle P_{mmHg}=10^{7.87863-{\frac {1473.11}{230.0+T}}}

from Lange's Handbook of Chemistry 10th ed.

Log₁₀ of methanol vapor pressure vs. temperature. Uses Antoine's equation:

\scriptstyle \log _{10}{P_{mmHg}}=7.87863-{\frac {1473.11}{230.0+T}}

from Lange's Handbook of Chemistry 10th ed.

Here is a similar formula from the 67th edition of the CRC handbook. Note that the form of this formula as given is a fit to the Clausius–Clapeyron equation, which is a good theoretical starting point for calculating saturation vapor pressures:

log₁₀(P) = −(0.05223)a/T + b, where P is in mmHg, T is in kelvins, a = 38324, and b = 8.8017.

Properties of aqueous methanol solutions

Data obtained from Lange's Handbook of Chemistry, 10th ed. and CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics 44th ed. The annotation, d a°C/b°C, indicates density of solution at temperature a divided by density of pure water at temperature b known as specific gravity. When temperature b is 4 °C, density of water is 0.999972 g/mL.
