The critical temperatures and pressures of thirty organic compounds

Critical temperatures and pressures of some organic compounds were measured. There is good agreement between the observed critical pressures and values obtained by extrapolation of equations representing the variation of vapour pressure with temperature in the region of the normal boiling point. An incremental scheme relating critical temperatures to normal boiling points is described and is used for the correlation of the critical temperatures, obtained in this and other investigations, of more than 150 compounds.
