In thermodynamics and chemical engineering, the vapor-liquid equilibrium describes the distribution of a chemical species between the vapor phase and a liquid phase. The concentration of a vapor in contact with its liquid, especially at equilibrium, is often expressed in terms of vapor pressure, which will be a partial pressure if any other gas is present with the vapor. The equilibrium vapor pressure of a liquid is in general strongly dependent on temperature. At vapor-liquid equilibrium, a liquid with individual components in certain concentrations will have an equilibrium vapor in which the concentrations or partial pressures of the vapor components have certain values depending on all of the liquid component concentrations and the temperature. The converse is also true: if a vapor with components at certain concentrations or partial pressures is in vapor-liquid equilibrium with its liquid, then the component concentrations in the liquid will be determined dependent on the vapor concentrations and on the temperature. The equilibrium concentration of each component in the liquid phase is often different from its concentration in the vapor phase, but there is a relationship. The vapor-liquid equilibrium concentration data can be determined experimentally, approximated with the help of theories such as Raoult's law, Dalton's law, and Henry's law.
