Q

Maam Tata accidentally filled the sevo vaporizer with iso, what would happen?

A

OVERDOSE (Vapor Pressure of ISO is higher than SEVO)

One important property of vapor pressure is that as long as any liquid remains in the container, the vapor pressure is independent of the volume of that liquid.
