11. Experimental Methods for the
Determination of Sorption Coefficients
11.2. Equilibrium Head Space (HS)
This method,364,371,372 was used for the determination of
sorption coefficients @Eq. ~15!# for vapors on oven-dry or
moist sorbents in the absence of an aqueous phase. A system
with known gas volume and mass of sorbent may be compared
to a control, which contains no sorbent. The vials are
sealed with Teflon-lined rubber disks and aluminum crimp
caps. After equilibration at known temperature, a volume of
the headspace vapor is withdrawn from the vials and analyzed.
If the same mass of vapor is introduced into each
system, the mass balance equation must be equal

espacio de cabeza en equilibrio

Explanation:
La expresión "espacio de cabeza", traducción literal de 'headspace', es poco feliz, pero creo que el uso ha terminado por imponerla de manera irremediable.

Esta expresión designa el espacio libre que queda en la parte superior de un vial o de un frasco cerrado (es decir, entre el líquido contenido en el vial o frasco, y la tapa).

Si de todas maneras se quiere evitar este sintagma, se puede hablar precisamente de "espacio libre", pero en este caso tal vez sea conveniente indicar headspace entre paréntesis la primera vez que aparece.

En mi opinión, se puede omitir "en equilibrio" (yo lo haría), puesto que se sobrentiende. En efecto, siempre que se toman muestras de un espacio de cabeza se espera que se alcance el equilibrio entre las fases gaseosa y la líquida del contenido del vial.

Saludos cordiales.
