TJ's Peer Review

- Structure

After the general introduction, I wish to know from where this volatility came. As an intriguing story, a bit of history (How started to use it, and why he/she did it) might be interesting.
In the introduction, you may add more detail about the "chemical volatility". There are several pages about the Volatility already, so showing a difference may help readers to understand the topic.

- Suggestions

1. As a scientific definition, volatility supposed to have a standard protocol to measure it between whole different materials and states, and it would be worth to be a paragraph.
2. There must be some reason that people use the concept of 'volatility'. If you can explain which field (safety engineering?) cares about this concept, it will show the significance of the topic.

Response to Peer Review

Structure I'm planning on adding a "History" section that describes the invention of the term as well as some of it's past applications in industry. In particular, I plan on using examples about explosives safety and vapor distillation of petroleum products.

Suggestions I agree that the definition needs refinement. I'm going to better integrate vapor pressure into the definition, as it is essentially just a quantitative measure of volatility. Some editors suggested in the talk page that the article be merged with "Vapor pressure", so I have to be clear when differentiating the two. I'm also adding an "Applications" section that will describe some of the uses of volatility in chemistry and chemical engineering, which should help differentiate it from the other volatility articles.
