Pressure inside a heated, closed bottle


Can someone help me a bit.

Let's say I've got 3, 500ml glass bottles filled to 1/4th, half and 3/4th of their volume respectively with 25% ammonium hydroxide. How can I estimate what will be their internal pressure?


EDIT: I'm sorry but I wrote it all wrong. I forgot that the bottles were suppose to be heated. The question was aboutl pressure in heated closed bottles. What would be their internal pressure at 20 C, 100 C and 160 C. It's all theoretical, I don't want to experiment with exploding bottles.

Thanks for replies guys!

The pressures in the three bottles will be the same.

Current air pressure + vapor pressure of ammonia.

Edit: Wait, didn't think before I posted. Disregard second statement; it applies to an ideal system only.
The necessary data can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia_%28data_page%29#Vapor-L.... The calculation is analogous.

On a somewhat related topic, a plastic soda bottle can hold between 3 to 5 atmospheres of pressure.



I'm not saying let's go kill all the stupid people...I'm just saying lets remove all the warning labels and let the problem sort itself out.

I'm trying to count it but I'm not sure how to.

I assume I should first calculate the vapor pressure of ammonia, water and air using the Antoine Equation:

What next?

Should I count the mole fraction and multiply that by the vapor pressure like here:

http://www.ehow.com/how_6201518_calculate-vapor-pressure-sol...

or should I calculate each components mass fraction and multiply by vapor pressure:
