Your variations in pressure are quite small: remember that the pressure-volume
isotherms are quite steep, in that small changes in volume can lead to large
changes in pressure.
I'd rather expect values like you report with anything less than an
ideal force field; (but I don't have any real experience with this sort of
system.) [Is your system completely "dry", i.e. with no solvent molecules?]
....good luck....dac
