  1. What is the difference between "vapour" and "gas"?

    Apr 19, 2021 · Vapor implies the existence of a condensed phase that is the source or destination of the gas, or with which the gas may be in equilibrium; while gas does not make such an assumption.

  2. physical chemistry - What is the differences between partial pressure ...

    Jan 23, 2014 · Vapor pressure or equilibrium vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by a vapor in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases (solid or liquid) at a given temperature in a …

  3. thermodynamics - Why do we have water vapor at room temperature …

    May 6, 2024 · 1 Think of molecules of water liquid escaping into vapor, and molecules of water vapor condensing into liquid. Both processes occur simultaneously, and an equilibrium is reached in a …

  4. General rules for deciding volatility - Chemistry Stack Exchange

    In chemistry and physics, volatility is the tendency of a substance to vaporize. Volatility is directly related to a substance's vapor pressure. At a given temperature, a substance with higher vapor pressure …

  5. Why vapor pressure is unaffected by change in atmospheric pressure

    Jul 5, 2021 · By definition vapor pressure seems the pressure of vapor ABOVE the liquid which is in equilibrium with liquid and how the hell we are applying the concept of vapor pressure in open …

  6. evaporation - What is the difference between "smell/odor" and "vapor ...

    Nov 30, 2022 · What is the difference between "smell/odor" and "vapor" of a substance? It is assumed that the vapor of a given compound/element is the gas phase of the same pure compound/element.

  7. physical chemistry - Relationship between vapour pressure and …

    Aug 5, 2015 · I need clarity on saturated vapour pressure in a closed system at equilibrium. How does saturated vapour pressure relate to vapour pressure?

  8. What is the condensation point of water? - Chemistry Stack Exchange

    Jun 12, 2013 · In other words, what is the Condensation Point of water? The dew point is the point at which liquid water would condense from the atmosphere, and the frost point is the temperature at …

  9. thermodynamics - How does water sublimate at normal atmospheric ...

    Jan 10, 2022 · The lyophilizer uses the latter approach, constantly pumping the gas phase out so that the partial pressure of water vapor (which in a closed vacuum system rapidly becomes equal to total …

  10. physical chemistry - How does steam distillation work to extract a ...

    Dec 4, 2023 · That water vapor is an inert gas it does have an effect on the vapor pressure of other materials present. The main use of steam distillation is to effect a safe, flameless, heat source at a …
