What is another word for vapor pressure?
Pronunciation: [vˈe͡ɪpə pɹˈɛʃə] (IPA) 
Vapor pressure refers to the pressure exerted by the gas molecules formed when a liquid evaporates. Some synonyms for vapor pressure include saturation vapor pressure, equilibrium vapor pressure, and partial pressure. Saturation vapor pressure refers to the maximum amount of vapor pressure that can exist in equilibrium with a liquid at a given temperature. Equilibrium vapor pressure, on the other hand, is the vapor pressure at which a liquid and its vapor are at equilibrium. Partial pressure is a term used to describe the pressure exerted by a particular component of a mixture, such as the pressure exerted solely by water vapor in a mixture of gases. Essentially, these synonyms describe the same basic concept of the pressure exerted by a liquid's vapor phase.
