Abstract

This article reports the results obtained using a computer program developed with the software LabVIEW. The program is a computer simulation of the physical chemistry experiment regarding the vapor pressure measurements of a pure liquid as a function of temperature. We also describe a system of data collecting to emphasize the similarities between the virtual and real experiment, which allows the user to read the data in the laboratory with an instrument similar to the one simulated in the virtual experience.
