title: Acetic acid vapor: 1. Statistical/quantum mechanical models of the ideal vapor.
abstract: Two statistical mechanical/quantum computational models are developed for the ideal acetic acid vapor. One describes the equilibrium of the cis-monomer and the ring dimer and the other the equilibrium of a mixture of oligomers. Ten quantum computational models of the acetic acid ring dimer have been compared in developing these models. The end product of this work is a critical tool for assessing experimental vapor density studies of acetic acid reported in the literature.
