liquid-vapor equilibrium [′lik·wəd ¦vā·pər ‚ē·kwə′lib·rē·əm]

(physical chemistry)

The equilibrium relationship between the liquid and its vapor phase for a partially vaporized compound or mixture at specified conditions of pressure and temperature; for mixtures, it is expressed byK=x/y,whereKis the equilibrium constant,xthe mole fraction of a key component in the vapor, andythe mole fraction of the same key component in the liquid. Also known as vapor-liquid equilibrium.
