What is the Reid vapor pressure of allyl...

🔍 Key Concepts

• Reid vapor pressure (RVP) is a standardized way of expressing the volatility of a liquid at a specific temperature (usually 100°F/37.8°C) • Allyl chloride is a highly volatile, low-boiling organic (a chlorinated alkene), which affects its expected vapor pressure range • Cargo data such as RVP is normally found in chemical property tables (e.g., Coast Guard CHRIS manual or similar references)

💭 Think About

• Think about how a low-boiling, highly volatile chemical like allyl chloride would compare in vapor pressure to less volatile liquids such as water or typical fuel oils • Consider the relative size of the listed pressures: which values best match what you would expect for a light, easily vaporized organic chemical at around 100°F? • Recall whether you’ve seen approximate vapor pressure values for similar chlorinated hydrocarbons (like vinyl chloride or allyl-type compounds) and how they compare numerically

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the definition of Reid vapor pressure and that it is measured in psia at 100°F (37.8°C) • Cross-check allyl chloride’s boiling point and general volatility; a lower boiling point usually implies a higher vapor pressure at a given temperature • If you have access in the exam setting, consult the appropriate chemical data table (e.g., CHRIS or equivalent) for allyl chloride and match the closest listed psia value
