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.
Supplement
The EXE version of the program and instructions are available .

 Caution! 
Experiments, laboratory exercises, lecture demonstrations, and other descriptions of the use of chemicals, apparatus, instruments, computers, and computer interfaces are presented in the Journal of Chemical Education as illustrative of new or improved ideas or concepts in chemistry instruction and are directed at qualified teachers. Although every effort is made to assure and encourage safe practices and safe use of chemicals, the Journal of Chemical Education cannot assume responsibility for uses made of its published materials. Many chemicals are hazardous. Precautions for the safe use of hazardous chemicals and directions for their proper disposal are described in the Material Safety Data Sheets and on the labels. We strongly urge all those planning to use materials from our pages to make choices and to develop procedures for laboratory and classroom safety in accordance with local needs and situations.
